Draycott Cleves Lane Upton Grey Hampshire RG25 2RG
Proposal
Just outside the easterly corner our garden, but in the in the field belonging to our neighbour at Dracott, Cleves Lane RG25 2RG, stand four pine trees (We describe them as Douglas Firs) which we believe to have been planted and to have not naturally seeded. They affect the sun into our garden and that of our neighbour at Majestic House. All parties have agreed to their removal and the owner of Draycot, Mr Mike Metham, has asked that four trees are planted in a position, as yet to be decided, in their place The application is to have all four trees in question felled as close as possible to the ground.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
