Proposal

T1 Maple - Reduce in height by 1 metre to a suitable point to give adequate clearance of the utility cable; crown raise over the pavement by up to 3 metres from ground level to give clearance for the general public; reduce the remainder of the tree by up to 1 metre so the tree can be sympathetically shaped and balanced as the stem of the Maple is leaning towards the road

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.
