Proposal
T1 ? Horse Chestnut: Fell to ground level. The tree is growing directly on top of a loose, failing stone wall, with roots displacing the structure and voids forming beneath the root plate. The wall no longer provides stable support, and the tree stands on a slope where any failure would directly target the adjacent house and garden. The tree is far younger than the established 1973 Tree Preservation Order and does not form part of the original protected stock. Removal is a proportionate risk-based intervention to prevent further structural displacement and foreseeable harm to property. T2 ? Oak: Repollard to previous pollard points. The tree is an established pollard requiring cyclical management to maintain structural stability. A bracket fungus of the genus Ganoderma is present on the stem, indicating internal decay. Repollarding will reduce lever-arm length and end-weight, mitigating risk while retaining the existing pollard framework. All cuts will be made back to existing knuckles

Use the available source or council register link above. A register fallback may require you to search for the application reference.
Check whether public comments are accepted
Application types and public commenting eligibility vary. Follow the council's published instructions, including any registration and personal-information requirements.
Write a material planning consideration
Comments must relate to planning matters — e.g. impact on neighbours, traffic, parking, design, or the local area. Personal objections (e.g. "I don't like the owner") are not considered. Be specific and factual.
Submit before the consultation deadline
Use the published public consultation deadline on the official record. Do not calculate it from the received date or substitute a statutory-consultee date. Ask the council if the deadline or eligibility is unclear.
💡 Tip: A recorded undecided status does not mean comments are accepted. Check the council's current record and meeting rules before taking part.
