Planning application

26/01857/TRE

17 Hermitage Road Kenley CR8 5EA

Granted Croydon Consent for works to protected trees

Proposal

T1 Beech: Fell - The main concern is that the tree is moribund and that branches are beginning to fail and are a high risk to the road, neighbour's and front driveway use. There is also a risk of tree failure as the tree weakens as it dies, and holding roots become desiccated or diseased. (TPO 32, 2008)

As published by the council, reference 26/01857/TRE

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.
