   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.

  All within W1 (ON TPO ORDER): T1 Ash - 3 - 3.5 m crown reduction not past previous pruning points - Remove two lower north-eastern lateral limbs. Reason: Tree leans towards the House and is not far from touching it. Reduce to give more light and clearance to the House. T2 Hawthorn - Fell. Reason: tree is very unwell. T3 (2x) Willows - Fell. Reason: trees have grown at 45 degrees angle to get light and are 2 tall straight stems, they hold no amenity value within in the woodland, fell to avoid future failure when they become too large at the angle they have grown and can not hold their own weight in the wet conditions within the woodland, as many trees in the same area have done in the past. T4 Ash - 2.5 - 3 m crown reduction, not past previous pruning points. Reason: to keep size under control for location, near to service cables and pole and also starting to hang over the boundary line to the neighbouring property.
