   Decision issued: Refused

   Added to PlanIndex

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.

A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

  T1 Sycamore - reduce heavily by 4m all round the crown. Reason: Due to the tree being large for the size of the gardens and with adjacent neighbouring buildings, the tree has an included bark included bark twin stem union at the base with a old wound callusing over roughly 6ft up. There has also been a large limb snapped out in the past lower in the crown. This work is to preserve the tree for the future and preventing it from becoming a danger in the future.
