Planning application

The Conifers Brampford Speke Devon EX5 5DP

Granted East Devon 22/2082/TCA Tree in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1, Cypress tree with stem diameter of 27cm. The tree is well away from any boundaries (>5m). Proposing complete removal of tree due to proximity to property leading to reduced light and concerns with root damage to foundations and drainage as well as damage to property in event of the tree coming down uncontrolled. Renovation and extension work due to start on the property exacerbates these concerns.

As published by the council, reference 22/2082/TCA

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.
