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.

    41 WESTCOMBE PARK ROAD, LONDON, SE3 7RE

    Street-side Cherry tree adjacent to Kids & Co Nursery: Crown reduction & cutback of lateral limbs overhanging and encroaching on Nursery play area. Approximate reduction of limbs by 2-3 Metres to provide sufficient clearance to property for storm damage mitigation & safety purposes (falling flowers posing slip hazard for children). Reduction cuts will be made in accordance with BS3998 and thus will likely include pruning the top of the crown in order to match the side, retaining the overall balance of the tree and optimal branch structure. Proposed works also include crown lift (approx 3 Metres) to provide adequate clearance for adjacent nursery grounds.
