Proposal
Works to trees under a Tree Preservation Order, namely The proposal is to carry out some minor pruning works to several trees that run along the cliff edge of the property 'Morning Star Cottage'. The work entails the reduction of 5 Oaks (T1 - T5) and one Ash (T6) as shown by the redline lines on the photographs. Similar work has been carried out several times now in attempt to maintain the trees at a reasonable size to hopefully prevent losing them. Due to their fairly precarious position along the cliff edge the risk is that if left unmanaged they could fall and potentially cause landslips and other issues. There is a history of trees slipping into the creek along this stretch of coastline. The works are very minor and should therefore have a very limited impact on the look and health of the trees.

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.
