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
Large Laurel tree in back garden (no other trees in garden). Tree has become over grown and very heavy and the weight is putting strain on the tree trunk and jeopardising the stability and health of the tree. It needs a crown reduction , especially at the sides and bottom of the tree. Expected crown reduction will be approximately 30%, approximately 1.5 metres of pruning on the height and spread of the tree all around. Tree surgeon to carry out the work is Les West. Our neighbours at 136 where the tree part overhangs are fully supportive and collaborating on the reduction.
