Planning application
Brindley Court Old College Road Newbury RG14 1TD
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 Oak: crown lift the canopy to 5.5 metres. Also to reduce the lateral limbs growing towards the building by 2 metres to give clearance, to appropriate pruning points. Also to reduce back any extended limbs back into the canopy. Reason being the tree has overgrown its location and needing maintenance. The lateral limbs are growing very close to the building next to it and the lowest limbs are dropping low close to the road requiring a crown lift.
