Planning application
18 Combe Street Lane Yeovil Somerset BA21 3PD
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Application to carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree as shown within the South Somerset District Council (YEW 1) 1992 Tree Preservation Order. T1 - Oak Quercus sp. 14mWorks to be carried out Oak (T1). Our preferred option is to monolith the tree by removing all primary branches and retain the trunk at approx. 10m FGL. This will eliminate the chance of major branch failure and will retain the tree so it will still have ecological importance as a ?veteranised? tree.

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.
