   Added to PlanIndex

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.

A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

  T1 - Ash Suggested Works: reduce height by 2-3 metres, Maximum Diameter of Cuts (MDC) 50mm. Reduce western aspect by 3 metres, MDC 75mm. Reduce northeastern and southwestern aspects by 2 metres, 50mm Crown lift above shed. Remove major hazardous deadwood. T2 - Lime Suggested Works: Reduce height and southern lateral spread by 2 metres, MDC 50mm. Prune remaining to reshape, tidy and contain. Rationale: The Ash tree is twin stemmed, the structural integrity of its basal union is in doubt. These works are necessary to reduce loading and reduce the risk posed by this tree to an acceptable level. Reduction works to the Lime are proposed as part of the reasonable maintenance of this vigorous tree.

  T1 - Sycamore. Reduce southern aspect by 2m, maximum diameter of cut (MDC) 40mm. T2 - Sycamore. Reduce lower third of southern canopy by 1.5m, MDC 30mm T4 - Turkey Oak. Reduce height by approximately 6m to suitable growth points, MDC 175-200mm. Reduce north, south & west aspects by up to 3m, MDC 75mm. Reduce large eastern limb by 4-5m, MDC 125mm. Remove major hazardous deadwood. Reason for works: T1 & T2 are causing a nuisance to the neighbouring property 'Oakdene', over-dominance of their outdoor space and multiple branches have broken tiles and guttering of outbuildings. These works are considered arboriculturally appropriate. T4 is a fine mature specimen with a broad spreading canopy. Detailed inspection carried out in July 2021 showed multiple issue around the base of the tree; multiple fungi were present, Ganoderma resinaceum and Kretzschmaria deusta, both of which are known to be an aggressive decay fungi. Resistograph microdrill testing was carried out in 2021 and results show there has been a reduction in structural integrity. See report and drill testing results for further detail. The tree has been re-inspected more recently (October 2024) and conditions are not thought to have improved. Due to the tree's location with 1 Matford Rd, Oakdene and Matford Road a crown reduction is essential to reduce loadings at the base of the tree to reduce the significant risk of failure and to ensure the tree's longevity.
