   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 22 October 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   West Berkshire took a median of 58 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

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.

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.

  T1 - Large Mature English Oak Tree: Crown has been suppressed with one side overhanging garden shed and school playing grounds. I would recommend crown reduction of 2m field side only to give clearance and reduce the risk of limb collapse. This would help reduce the crown also. Finally to remove any dead, dying wood and stumps; T2- Suppressed English Oak: This tree has a dying crown with extensive cavities at 1m and 3m from ground level. Due to its poor condition I would recommend section felling to ground level. Removing all arisings. Access to remove all arisngs via the school field would be best.

  T1 - Large mature English Oak Tree: situated on the lawn behind Patio. This tree has an unbalanced crown, towards the rear of the property with very low limbs hanging over the neighbour's boundary. Also there is a cavity 3m from ground level. Due to the size and location I would recommend the upper house side crown to be reduced by approx. 2m to balance and lift up the lower limbs 4m for clearance over the garden. Finally to remove all dead and dying wood and stumps.
