Description
My late father's house has two ash trees at the bottom of the garden of 51 Victoria Avenue, Rayleigh (highlighted in blue on the attached sreenshot). In June 2025, he made an application to reduce the crown of one of the trees. Consent was provided (your ref: - my ref: PP-14063243) to "Reduce crown of Ash by 4m-5m". The property has now been left to myself and my brother (date of father's death was 19/11/25) and is now up for sale. We are now seeking to also reduce the crown of the other Ash tree by the same amount so they are consistent in size. The current estimate in size is approx 15m. Data via plota.co.uk

Decision outlook
Plota predicted a decision around 29 Oct 2026; it is now day 160.
Day 160, past the statutory target. 97% of tree and landscaping works in Rochford are decided within thirteen weeks; extensions of time are common, and the council need not decide on the day. Last seen undecided on 24 Aug 2026.
Plota live figures for tree and landscaping works decided across the UK in the last twelve months, from validation; too few recent tree and landscaping works in Rochford to go on. Rochford decision record →
