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
Work to the Silver Birch tree in rear garden - highlighted on Aerial photograph (Picture 1). The tree is close to the house and we would like to reduce the height of the canopy by 4 to 5 metres. The tree has recently been caught in the winds and a very large branch to the northern side of the canopy snapped/split along the branch.(Picture 2). This has been cut off just before the break/split for safety. (Picture 3). The top of he tree would now need reducing to balance the canopy as most of it is now to one side, as shown in Picture 3, which is towards ours and our neighbours properties, it does sway about somewhat in the winds causing concern.
