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 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.

    17 Willsdown Road Exeter EX2 8XA

    Tree species: Holm oak - T3 in preservation order (TPO 439) (Doc 2) and T3 on the sketch plan (Doc 3). Proposed works The tree has grown significantly and now exceeds the safe limit for its location. The arborist has identified a significant structural defect caused by Ganoderma decay fungus emerging from the main load-bearing component. The tree also has a long-standing weakened bifurcation and stands in close proximity to residential property. On this basis, our arborist has recommended pollarding to reduce the risk of structural failure and to manage the long-term health and safety of the tree. (For a detailed assessment and supporting photos, please see Doc 1 - Doug Pratt arborist assessment). Arborist recommends the holm oak is reduced to circa 7/8 metres and crown lifted to 3.5 metres above ground level, as applied previously. (fyi: The same work was approved and undertaken approx 10 years ago.)

    2 Chestnut Court Exeter EX2 8XY

    Horse Chestnut T1 Reasons for proposed work - The crown also hangs low over the road and over the garden. In some places it hangs less than 2m above ground level and is becoming obstructive. There is a large dead stub at 2m on the southern aspect as a result of poor previous pruning work. It is unsightly and contributes very little to the amenity of the tree. Proposed specification of works - Remove the branch stub located at 1.5m above ground level in the southwestern aspect. Remove the lowest branch in the south eastern aspect with an approximate diameter of 125mm. Crown raise the remaining crown to 4.5m above ground level. This should be achieved with a 75mm maximum cut diameter.

    2 Westcombe Exeter EX2 8GH

    T1 - 1Silver Birch (Betula pendula) Carry out a crown reduction in height, pruning the upper canopy back to the previously established pruning points, whilst selectively reducing and shaping the remaining canopy to maintain a balanced and natural crown form. The lower branches are to be retained to allow for the continued use of bird feeders currently installed within the lower canopy. All pruning cuts shall be made to suitable growth points in accordance with BS 39982010 - Tree Work Recommendations, ensuring the long-term health and structural integrity of the tree. All arisings generated from the works shall be removed from site and returned to a Devon Tree Services Ltd depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean, and tidy upon completion. Justification The proposed works seek to undertake a modest crown reduction to the height of the Silver Birch by approximately 1.5 metres, returning the canopy to either approximately 4.5 metres in height or to previous pruning points. The radial spread of the crown will remain unchanged. The tree is of relatively small stature and is located in close proximity to the adjacent property at 2 Westcombe, where it contributes to shading of internal living spaces and the immediate garden area. The proposed reduction is considered proportionate and necessary to increase natural light levels to the neighbouring property, thereby improving residential amenity. The specification has been carefully designed to ensure that the works are limited in scope and will not adversely affect the long-term health, structural integrity, or visual amenity of the tree. The main framework of the crown will be retained, and a high proportion of the foliage-bearing structure will remain following the works. All pruning cuts will be made back to suitable growth points in accordance with BS 3998:2010Tree Work Recommendations, with individual pruning wounds restricted to a maximum of 40 mm in diameter.
