Planning application

12 Ruffetts Close South Croydon CR2 7JS

Proposal

T17: Norway maple. One large limb has already snapped out of the tree so I am requesting the other heavily leaning limb to be removed as it is showing signs of decay and has cracks in it. Also a 2-3 metre crown reduction of the other half of tree to re balance and reduce weight. (TPO 16, 1999)

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.
