Planning application

26/00022/TCONR

143 Gloucester Street Cirencester Gloucestershire GL7 2DP

Granted Cotswold Works to trees in conservation areas

Proposal

fell apple tree The apple tree has grown to a size and form that now causes ongoing practical and amenity issues. Several branches interfere with overhead telegraph wires, creating a potential maintenance and safety concern and requiring repeated intervention to prevent contact. The tree is also affected by a fungal disease, evidenced by fruit that is consistently blackened internally and therefore unusable. Large quantities of fallen apples regularly land on the roof of my garden room and into a neighbouring allotment, causing damage, mess, and an ongoing nuisance that requires frequent clearing. In addition, the apple tree currently overshadows two cherry trees and a greengage tree growing beneath it. These trees are in good health but are significantly constrained by lack of light and space. Removal of the apple tree would allow these younger fruit trees to receive adequate sunlight and airflow, giving them a far better chance to flourish. In addition to felling the tree, the stump would be removed and the wood from the tree would be either chipped (and used on our allotment) or used for firewood.

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.
