14 Lyncombe Hill, Lyncombe, Bath, Bath And North East Somerset, BA2 4PQ
Proposal
T1 - Sycamore, reduce by roughly 2-3m in height reducing the sides to match new shape. T2 - Sycamore, reduce by roughly 2-3m in height reducing the sides to match new shape. T3 - Smoke Bush, reduce the tree by roughly 2-3, to allow reshaping and fresh growth. T4 - Leylandii, fell. Tree is behind Smoke Bush and has grown too large for the space as is the nature of Leylandii reduction work will leave the tree in poor health and so preference is to remove tree and replant with TBC species.

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.
