About lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

12The tree is not subject to a preservation order. It is highlighted via an arrow in the satellite image accompanying this application. We would like the tree (including stump) to be completely removed from the property via the best method a tree surgeon suggests (we have not consulted one as yet). Principally we are worried the tree roots could damage the patio and other garden features. We also think it could be a potential hazard to our hosue in stormy weather/high winds. The tree also blocks light to the patio and house.

Crown reduction of 20% to the lime tree. These are halfway down our residential garden and both becoming too big for their setting. Crown reduction of approximately 3 metres from the top of the tree. Lateral crown reduction of approximately 2 metres from all sides. Approximate retained canopy radius - 3 metres. Approximate final tree height - 9 metres. The proposed works are intended to continue the established cyclical management of this mature lime tree. The tree has grown substantially since it was last reduced and is now encroaching onto neighbouring properties, resulting in the need for further management to maintain good neighbour relations. The arborist also advised that reducing the crown will help reduce the loading on the relatively slender predominant stem, supporting the trees long-term management. For reference, I have attached a photograph taken immediately after the last reduction in January 2023. The proposed works are intended to achieve a broadly similar level of reduction as as you will know, lime trees are very resilient to pollarding and regularly managed in this way.

Two trees within property garden. One laurel (1) and one cherry blossom (2) to be trimmed due to cherry blossom hitting phone lines, encroaching onto neighbours property and for general maintanence. We would like to bring in a tree surgeon to do these works. We have just moved in and have no intention to remove any trees within our garden, we only want to maintain to enhance the nature beauty of the conservation area.
