Planning application

26/P/0549/TPO

4 Hector Close Locking Weston-super-Mare BS24 7GX

Refused Bristol, City of Works to TPO

Proposal

T1- Willow - Fell. Due to being within 6m of the property, and a species that can attain 25m in height, it is considered highly unsuitable for a small residential back garden and so to avoid future structural issues we are applying to remove the tree.

As published by the council, reference 26/P/0549/TPO

What refusal means

The process from here

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

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.
