Proposal

Located in southerly end of the woodland, 25m from S/E boundary corner, Sycamore showing significant signs of internal rot three feet from ground level approx 30% of internal tree trunk is rotted out completely. Safety risk. Showing historic signs of bark damage around area of rot. Request for removal and replacement with native tree (horse chestnut or hazel) to encourage diversity.

Trunk dimension significantly less than others in the woodland. Request to remove and replace with native tree as above. Request replacement of these two trees with one given the close proximity of trees in this section of the woodland and dense canopy coverage associated with this. Trees 4,5,6,7,8 Sycamores on boundary with pathway to side of 24 Lime Grove. Request is to trim back ground level shoots to encourage main tree health and plus a self seeded overhanging honeysuckle in order to reopen tarmac pathway to Maple Close up for use and facilitate erection of stock fence and planting of native hedgerow along boundary (woodland trust grant applied and received, planting to take place Sept/Oct 2026).

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.
