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 five 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 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.

  TPO/000837/25 Submitted 30 Sep 2025 440m away

  T1 - Beech - We are seeking permission to carry out operations on this Beech tree, positioned in W1 of the original TPO (ref: 267 (2010).W1). Our intention is to push back the overhang of the specimen from the premises of Oak Tree Cottage; reducing back where it has encroached on the aforementioned property. T2 - Beech - We are seeking permission to carry out operations on this Beech tree, positioned in W1 of the original TPO (ref: 267 (2010).W1). Our intention is to push back the overhang of the specimen from the premises of Oak Tree Cottage; reducing back where it has encroached on the aforementioned property. T3 - Leylandii - We are seeking permission to carry out operations on this Leylandii, positioned in W1 of the original TPO (ref: 267 (2010).W1). For the Leylandii in question, we intend to remove this tree to ground level. It is again positioned encroaching on the boundary of Oak Tree Cottage, yet presents as a very poor specimen with low amenity. As its condition is questionable, we believe it would be better to act with the avoidance of doubt and remove the Leylandii before it deteriorates and potentially fails in future adverse conditions.
