Planning application

Field Between Bloomfield Road And Englishcombe Way, Bloomfield Road, Bloomfield, Bath, Bath And North East Somerset,
Proposal
C1 - Cypress. Remove as too close to the house and in danger of affecting foundations. Growing into the gutter at present. See picture. P1 - Pittisporum. Reduce by 50% from 24' to 12'. This is repollarding to previous points. A1 - Apple tree. This Bramley is old and needs end weight reducing as well as pruning to help it live on. SB1 - Silver Birch. Reduce by 30%; repollard to the next viable growth point down from where it has been done before; pull in top of the canopy to give a rounded shape. Currently approximately 36', reduce to approximately 24'. S1 - Sycamore. Remove as growing too close to the field maple next to it. The field maple is by far the more desirable shape and size; remove sycamore to preserve the amenity value of the field maple.

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.
