Planning application

3 Floreat Gardens Newbury RG14 6AW

Awaiting decision West Berkshire 26/02055/TPW

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

This is a common lime tree that I've received permission to pollard twice before in the last 12 years. It has been several years since the last application and the regrowth is now reached a size that it really needs to be pollarded again. I have received complaints from the neighbour in Mayfair drive that the branched are now putting his whole garden in shade. I checked with the RHS who told me that common lime trees could be pollarded as often as once per year. I hope to carry out the work in the late autmn, once the leaves have fallen. I will use the same tree surgeon as on previous occasions.
