   Decision issued: Granted subject to conditions

   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.

  Tall eucalyptus tree in my garden that is growing leaning towards the house and is not far from the house. I am worried about the tree being blown down in the wind and landing on the house. The tree also has a long branch growing to the side that has also grown towards the house, further increasing the lean of the whole tree towards the house. The tree is very tall and thin and so leans heavily towards the house in the wind. I estimate the height of the tree to currently be about 20 metres tall. The proposed works are to a (T1) Eucalyptus tree â?? Whole crown reduction to 14m above ground level, to provide sufficient clearance to property.

  T1 - Sycamore Tree, The tree contains major dead branches and limbs and there fore needs a pollard back down to live wood, 6.1 meters which would give the tree a chance to promote new healthy growth so that the tree can re generate. If this dead limbs are not taken out they run the risk of failing and braking off and causing damage to neighbouring properties out buildings.
