Planning application
5 Cuckoo Close North Waltham Hampshire RG25 2BJ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
1. Large Cherry Tree adjacent to boundary hedge. This is heavily overgrown and the crown will need reducing in size by up to 3m all over. The excess growth overhangs the public footpath that runs along the outer edge of the boundary hedge. It also is now growing into overhead cables 2. 3 x Silver Birch. Tops lowered by 2m a couple of years ago to bring them below the overhead cables, but this work will need to be redone within the next 12-24 months. There are no plans to fully remove the trees, just reducing them in size so as not to encroach on overhead cables or the public footpath.

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.
