Planning committee
Decided by Reading Planning Applications Committee on 5 Nov 2025.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approving cyclical re-pollarding and crown lifting because the trees were maintained as pollards and low foliage affected driveway access.
- The application proposed re-pollarding five lime trees and removing basal and epicormic growth for better driveway clearance.
- The committee approved the proposed tree work.
