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.

Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.

  4 No large mature apple trees in rear garden, on right-hand side, approximately 15-20m from the house, positioned in a row along the right-hand boundary wall. These trees have become significantly overgrown due to a lack of maintenance resulting in excessive shading across the garden. Proposed works are to heavily reduce the overall height and spread of all four trees to restore proportion and light levels and potentially remove up to two trees entirely to improve spacing, long-term health and ease of future maintenance
