Proposal
T1 Lawson cypress Fell as close to ground level as possible and remove all arisings. Reason for works - top looking sparse compared to the rest of the tree and over crowded I area. This will allow Holly more space. T2 Holly Crown Reduction - Reducing the height of the tree by up to 3 metres and trim sides in by 1 metre to suit. Reason for works - top of the tree is very sparse so reducing height down. Works due to give the more light to the area and Holly tree and because the Lawson Cypress seems to be struggling

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.

5 Broadway Romford RM2 5NS
We have a weeping birch tree in our garden. We have had it confirmed by two different tree surgeons from two different companies that unfortunately it is dead. The tree has been dead for at least 9 months. We had hoped it might show signs of life in the summer but this has not happened. We would like permission to cut down the tree before it falls down and harms someone or falls into the pond it is beside.
