Planning application documents: what to read first
Understand planning application documents, officer reports and decision notices. Use a reading checklist, document table and worked example to inspect a case.
Application overview
The mature Goat Willow (Salix Caprea) in my back garden needs to be pruned back a bit as it is growing a bit too much over the neighbours garden and also into the space where we have our washing line. It may also be good for the health of the tree to cut it back a bit and for new growth to occur. I intend for the crown to be reduce by one third. I intend to get the work done in the winter months during dormancy. In the spring the tree is very productive with catkins and it attracts lots of pollinators. The tree is valued by people and insects / birds / squirrels for this reason I'm wanting to keep it in good health / condition.
