Planning application

Manor Farm House Brightwalton Newbury RG20 7BT

Granted West Berkshire 25/02443/TPC Tree Works in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

8 Lime Trees situated well within property boundary but within 15m of highway. During Storm Amy on 4/10/25 Tree No. 3 (identified on location plan) failed. We now wish to reduce height of remaining 7 Lime trees to historic pollard point as they are displaying clear signs of internal decay at this height and vulnerable to failure in the future. Current height of trees is approximately 18m and historic pollard point to which they will be reduced is approximately 12m. Basal growth will remain along with remaining stump of Tree No. 3 for controlled regrowth.
