   Decision issued: Raise No Objections

3. 13 Aug 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

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.

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.

  Warley House Stock Lane Warley Halifax Calderdale HX2 7RU

  T1 & T2 - Sycamore: Crown lift to provide approximately 5 metres clearance above ground level. T3 & T4 - Sycamore: Pollard to approximately 10-12 metres. The tree has not previously been pollarded. Works are proposed to establish and maintain the crown at a manageable height and reduce foreseeable risk from falling branches to members of the public using the garden areas. T5 - Ash: Severe Ash Dieback with significant crown decline and extensive dead and dying upper growth. Fell to ground level due to the deteriorating condition and foreseeable risk of branch and/or stem failure. The tree is close to existing structures and the area proposed for construction of a new outbuilding. T6 - Ash: Completely dead tree with extensive deadwood and a deteriorating structure. Fell to ground level due to the foreseeable risk of branch and/or stem failure. The tree is close to existing structures and the area proposed for construction of a new outbuilding. T7 - Sycamore: Mature Sycamore currently in reasonable physiological and structural condition, with no significant immediate safety defects identified. Fell to ground level to facilitate construction of the proposed new outbuilding and provide the necessary space for the building, access and working area. Retention of the tree would significantly constrain the proposed layout.
