Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 Lime. Slightly asymmetrical form due to a neighbouring tree, there is some merit here in carrying out crown management due to location. a. Reduce lateral spread, particularly to the Northern aspect targeting over extended laterals by up to 3.0m back to suitable growth points, tapering into height. The 3m maximum length will be to laterals that extend beyond general crown outline only. b. Lift crown to 5.0m targeting secondary growth points only.

The process from here
This application is with West Berkshire for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that West Berkshire is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.
Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.
