Tree-work filings span single protected silver birch to 56-conifer conservation-area plan
The latest planning lists from three councils show tree-pruning requests ranging from one protected silver birch to a large conifer-thinning scheme in a conservation area.
Tree surgery applications appeared on the latest planning lists from Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council [1][2][3][4]. Bristol City Council listed crown reduction by 1-2m on a hawthorn and a silver birch at 25 The Chine, Bristol [1]. North Somerset Council listed crown reduction by 2m on a Holm oak and a yew at The Knoll, Chapel Hill, Clevedon [2]. South Gloucestershire Council listed crown thinning of 56 conifer trees by 60% and 10 silver birch trees by 30% at Acton House, The Green, Iron Acton, within a conservation area [3]. The same council listed a separate application to crown reduce by about 3m in height and 2m in radial spread a silver birch covered by Tree Preservation Order SGTPO32/06 at The Orchard, 61 Gloucester Road, Thornbury [4]. Taken together, the lists show local tree work ranging from a single protected tree to a 56-conifer conservation-area block [1][2][3][4].
