About outline applications
How this application type works
An outline application tests the principle of developing a site before the detail is worked up. Some or all of the particulars, such as appearance, layout, scale, access and landscaping, are held back as reserved matters for later approval. Permission at outline stage does not by itself allow building to start; the reserved matters must be approved first.

NEEDWOOD ESTATE TUTBURY CASTLE CASTLE STREET TUTBURY DE13 9JF
Felling Licence Consultation - SM/Conservation Area. Minimal operations proposed, only to carry out felling for safety reasons and protection of the Scheduled Monument. As felling will not be evenly distributed, the operation has been changed to thinning with a small proportion of regeneration felling to account for the small coupes of ash that require action. RF coupes will not be restocked due to the location upon SM, therefore, operation is listed as deforestation (EIA not required as below threshold).
