What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
About prior approval applications
How this application type works
Prior approval applications arise where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, such as larger home extensions, changes of use to housing or agricultural buildings. The council may only consider the specific matters set out in the rules, for example transport, flooding or appearance, and in many classes the work may proceed if the council does not respond within the deadline, commonly 56 days.

1 Heatherbank Close Cobham Surrey KT11 2LT
Tree Preservation Order - T1 - Oak - cut back branches by 2m on east side of the tree overhanging garden to leave a finished spread of 10m. The tree excessively overhangs the garden of this property causing heavy shading. The proposed reduction will reduce the weight from branch ends reducing the risk of limb failure and creating a sunnier aspect for this family garden. This level of pruning will comply with the recommendations of BS3998 and will not detract from the natural form and aesthetics of the tree.
