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
T1 Walnut, tree has recently lost a large branch on the West side of the crown and has suffered several branch failures in recent years. The tree has a very broad crown which I am proposing to reduce in spread along with some crown thinning,(30-40% in more congested areas) to lessen loading on the extended lateral limbs and branches. Crown lift to 4m, prune radial spread by 2.5-3.5m to secondary growth, crown spread currently is as follows; 7m to North, 10m to East, 9m to South and 8m to West.

Attachment to Email: email_msg_32896.pdfPlanning conditions
- T1 Walnut (TPO 128) - Crown thinning 30% focusing on crossing/rubbing branches. Crown lift to 4m. Prune radial spread by 2.5-3.5m to secondary growth. Crown spread currently 7m to North, 10m to East, 9m to South and 8m to West. Reason: Tree lean to east. Broad spreading crown with over extended limbs. Previous large branch failures. Hazard beam crack in limb. Crossing/rubbing branches. Crown low over garden and in close proximity to outbuilding. Pruning of extended limbs to reduce likelihood of further limb failures.
