   Decision issued: Application Permitted with Conditions

3. 27 Jul 2026

   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.

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.

  Land Rear Of Bazzleways Cottages 1 - 2 Station Road Sherborne Dorset DT9 5EH

  Application to carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 4 Trees and Fell No. 1 Tree as shown within the South Somerset District Council (MIPO 5) 2001 Tree Preservation Order. Tree 1 (Pine)on Figure 1 has one long branch going eastwards through Tree 2 (Pine) which would be removed as there is no suitable growth points. Tree 2 has a lot of dieback and looks in quite a poor state. It is smaller than the other trees but is growing towards the houses. Once the encroaching branch from tree 1 is removed I would reduce any dieback back to healthy growth and remove any dead wood. I would then re-evaluate the condition of the tree to see if it is worth keeping. So i would like to apply for possible removal of tree 2 but only if it is not worth saving. The tree is quite small compared to the others and wouldn't effect the copse with removal. T3 and T4 (Pines) I would only recommend a light reduction of a 1 - 2 metres on selected branches heavily leaning eastwards with the aim of encouraging the overall gravitational pull of the trees away from the houses but leaving a well balanced canopy. There is a small dead stem between trees 1 and 2 which would be removed too as could fall towards fence on east side.
