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.

    53 Wolsey Road East Molesey Surrey KT8 9EW

    East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - T1 - Lime tree on rear boundary - tree has a height of approximately 20 metres and spread of approximately 12 metres. Proposed works are to reduce crown by approximately 2-2.5 metres to previous pruning points, remove regrowth on main trunk to lift crown to a height of approximately 3 metres, leaving the tree with a height of approximately 17.5 metres and spread of approximately 8 metres. These works are being carried out to give clearance from pool house, maintain the tree at a reasonable size suitable to location by carrying out cyclical pruning and allowing light into pool area.

    34 Clive Road Esher Surrey KT10 8PS

    Esher Conservation Area - T1 Leyland Cypress (Rear Garden) Fell to ground level. Reason for Works: The tree is situated in very close proximity to the adjacent outbuilding. As the tree has matured, the stem has increased to a diameter at breast height (DBH) of approximately 40 cm and is now in direct contact with the structure, causing abrasion and damage to the building. Due to the ongoing increase in stem diameter, further structural damage is considered likely if the tree is retained. The proposed removal is therefore necessary to prevent additional damage while maintaining the safety and integrity of the adjacent structure. T2 Lawson Cypress (Rear Garden) Remove one large declining lateral limb and carry out a crown clean to remove all deadwood throughout the canopy. Reason for Works: A substantial lateral limb is in decline, exhibiting extensive dieback and a significant reduction in live foliage. The removal of this limb is proposed to reduce the risk of branch failure and improve the tree's overall condition. In addition, deadwood will be removed throughout the crown to eliminate potential hazards, improve canopy health, and form part of routine arboricultural management.

    Thraves Beech Close Cobham Surrey KT11 2EN

    Tree Preservation Order EL:11/29 - Proposed Works: Reduce the height of three mature Scots Pine trees (G6 on map) located within the front driveway area by approximately 3-4 metres, to suitable growth points and whilst retaining a balanced and natural shape in keeping with the species. Reason for Works: The trees are approximately 23 metres in height and are positioned in close proximity to the dwelling and garage structures. Due to their size, they are within falling distance of both the property and neighbouring properties. The proposed reduction works are intended to lower the overall sail area of the crowns, helping to reduce wind resistance during periods of severe weather and minimise the risk of branch or structural failure during storms. The works will also assist in maintaining the trees in a safe and balanced condition, improving their overall appearance and supporting their long-term health and longevity. In addition, the trees are located close to existing mains drainage infrastructure. As the trees continue to mature and increase in size, there is concern that further root development could potentially affect the drainage system. The proposed works therefore form part of a proactive management approach to reduce future risks to both the property and underground services while retaining the trees as important landscape features.
