Planning application

PA26/01091

Tippetts Cottage Kenwyn Truro Cornwall TR1 3DR

Granted Cornwall Tree Preservation Order

Proposal

Works to trees subject to a Tree Preservation Order, namely; 1) T1 Large Spruce, (unsure if this tree is old enough to be covered by the TPO 1974) Tree is considered too large for its current location, close to neighbouring property and just on drive. The owner feels anxious during strong winds and has concern that the tree could potentially fall. There is limited scope for reduction works, as any significant reduction would affect visual amenity. The tree is not considered a high quality speciman and not in keeping with other trees in the area. The costumer would like to fell the tree and re-plant with a birch species. 2) T2 Large Sycamore, mature tree with large low lateral limb which is overextending. We would like to reduce this section to help prevent possible future failure. reduce by approx. 10-15% please see ref 2

As published by the council, reference PA26/01091

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.
