Tree Works Notification
For tree works submitted under a ‘Tree Works Notification’ I refer you to Policy GM3
of the Cambridge City Council Citywide Tree Strategy 2016-2026 Part 2:
“All planned tree works will be published on the Council website and through site
notices for the community to access at least 20 working days before implementation.
The council sees this as an important tool for communicating to the local community
about tree work planned for their area and the reasons why the works are
necessary.” https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/tree-strategy
The notification period will run for 20 days from the date of publication of the
schedule.
The majority of the works contained within these schedules consists of minor
pruning to address health and safety issues, or more significant works to remove
trees that are obviously dead, dying or diseased, or replacement planting for trees
that have been removed.
A brief outline of the planned works can be found in the table shown above however;
full details of the planned works can be found within the attached schedules and
maps.
Please note: where trees are due to be felled, these are marked on site with green
tape.
Public Scrutiny
For tree works submitted for ‘Public Scrutiny’ A brief outline of the planned works
which we wish to be publicly scrutinised can be found within the attached schedules
and maps which will be available for ten working days following the date of
publication.
The planned works could involve either removing healthy trees over 75mm in
diameter as measured at 1.5m above ground level and/or any tree work or batch of
works that will have a significant impact on the landscape character of an area as
assessed by an arboricultural officer. This will include crown reductions of over 30%
in branch length on trees that have not previously been reduced.
The table above provides details of the works which are open for public scrutiny,
please note that some tree works schedules may contain other works in other
service areas than those open to this level of scrutiny. The following details only
relate to the significant works considered for scrutiny. Please note: where trees are
