   Decision issued: Raise No Objection

3. 2 Sep 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

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.

  Land To The South Of 7 Leazes Place Durham DH1 1RE

  Felling and removal of 7no Leylandii All tree works will be carried out by a qualified and insured arboricultural contractor. Stumps will be ground down to below ground level. All arisings will be removed from site and responsibly disposed of. The boundary will be retained with a low stone wall, matching the existing wall to the left and respecting the character of the conservation area. The works will not affect any protected trees or features, where applicable. The surrounding trees and vegetation will be protected throughout the works. Justification Removing the Leylandii will significantly enhance the character and appearance of the garden and the wider conservation area. It will open up the space, allow for better light, and restore a more appropriate balance with the mature trees and natural surroundings.
