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.

    203 Blackburn Road Edgworth BL7 0PQ

    Species Unknown. Extremely tall tree leaning (dangerously) against a dry stone wall on Blackburn Road. Stones are already being dislodged causing potential danger to cars and pedestrians. I would like the council to come and inspect the tree and its surroundings and please make safe. Please note - I am 86 years of age and have difficulties managing complicated forms such as this. I cannot determine what work needs to be carried out to make the tree safe and would appreciate it if the council could make an inspection at the earliest opportunity.
