What a grant of permission means

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.

    T1 - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), Reduce the canopy by approximately 40% to create a safer and more stable structure. Inspect the canopy for additional defects and prune to suitable growth points where possible. T2 - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), Reduce the canopy by approximately 15?20% to suitable strong secondary growth points. Reduction aims to reduce wind loading and leverage following the heavier reduction of the adjacent specimen whilst also reducing hyperextended growth. T3 - Ornamental Plum (Prunus cerasifera), Undertake a heavy reduction of approximately 60% to improve safety and retain the specimen where possible. Prune to suitable growth points where achievable; where unavailable, cuts will be made with the intention of encouraging dormant bud regeneration.

Please see two photos: the first taken 10.07.26 and the other today 27.07.26. demonstrating the rapid decline of the foliage. Upon initial investigation we believe the trunk to have contracted a bacterial infection. This is one of three. - to remove the dead infected areas. This work should be undertaken in a timely fashion to prevent further spread of the disease.
