Planning application

20/2171/TTCA

81 Cavendish Road Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB1 3AE

Granted Cambridge Works to CA trees

Proposal

Walnut - removal because of excessive shading, low amenity value and proximity of 22.5 ft / 6.85 m to rear of Victorian properties. A qualified arborist (from Gardenworks Tree Surgery Ltd, Cambridge) has visited the site and advised removal of the tree because of its size is inappropriate for a small garden and it has low amenity value (it is not visible from the public road).

As published by the council, reference 20/2171/TTCA

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.

    Public Car Park Great Eastern Street Cambridge Cambridgeshire

    TR02 - Plane (London) (Platanus x hispanica) - Crown lifted to give 5m clearance above ground level, ie. 5m from the level of the footway and up to the back edge of the footway. I wish this to be a repeat operation at intervals for 10 years (ie. I don't wish the permission to default to two years). This is because Cambridgeshire County Council have installed road signs and enforcement cameras as part of the Mill Road Bus Gate scheme. Pruning works are to clear low branches above height of signs and camera sight lines.
