Planning application

Fairholme Farm Stanford Dingley Reading RG7 6LT

Granted West Berkshire 25/02718/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

1x Copper Beech: at front of property which was subject to storm damage (split of bifurcated union) last winter. Further to communication with Jon Thomas in February 2025, we have waited to see if the tree survived. It did and permission is now sought to remove approx 100mm of decayed wood on the failed side of the bifurcated union (where the tree split) and to reduce weight and remove dead branches on remaining side of the tree. Pls see attached photo which shows the decay and illustrates the location better than a sketch plan.

    T1 - Lime: Inside Car Park Area. Re-pollard to old points. The proposed works would not reduce the amenity value of the tree and will allow sustainable tree management in the long term. The works are part of a regular maintenance program to retain the tree at a suitable size of its location.
