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.

  1 x Small Poplar 15m high has failed at the base of the tree and is resting on the larger 25m Poplar next to it. The small Poplar needs removing completely as the base of the trunk has failed. It it falls away from its current supporting branches, it will fall onto the BT line of the neighbouring property. The larger Poplar needs removing or pollarding right down to the first split as there is evidence of hornet moth activity at the base, and water ingress following previous damage. We have had quotes from 2 arboriculture companies, who have both recommended removal of both trees. We have other sapling trees currently growing in pots (cotoneaster and holly) which we would plant to replace these trees. The location of the trees is marked by red dots on the accompanying information.

  A crab apple tree situated within the small front garden. The tree has become overgrown and disproportionately large for the confined garden area, with a dense crown extending close to the house and over the front garden. Its size and position make the garden difficult to maintain and reduce light to the front elevation and adjoining windows. The proposal is to remove the tree and stump and restore the front garden
