Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
1no. Beech (T1) - Large cavity starts at approx 8m, 0.45m deep & 1.8m high, found after removing hornets nest. There could be severe damage to either property or highway if tree fails. Replace with std Beech. 1no. Oak (T2) - Reduce side of tree towards house by 1.5m-2m, back to suitable growth points. Reduction will leave tree in a natural & balanced shape. Tree is heavily one-sided towards property & excessively shading upstairs rooms on that side of house. Tree is part of a line of trees in back garden, as such the work will not be visible from road or negatively affect amenity value from road.

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.
