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
Sycamore tree on south boundary: Shorten branch length by a maximum of 3m with final pruning cuts being made to appropriate growth points, not necessarily the old cut pollard heads. The branches may not be to the maximum of 3m in length, they may be less if the location of an appropriate growth point is in a different position. The reason for this approach is to minimise stress reaction particularly because of the dry state the tree is currently in. The reason for the requested pruning intervention is because the tree is very close to the neighbours house.
