Proposal
Oak Tree - Tree Preservation Order 01 2021 - T1 - Inspection of Tree for ongoing maintenance and health assessment was carried out by Oakleys Tree & Garden Services (Jason 07947 630800) on 29th Septemand and they advised that no pollarding of the tree would be required for 2-3 years but removal of ivy from tree should be undertaken as this could affect the health of the tree over time. We are seeking permission to remove the ivy to a height of 1.5 metres from the ground.

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.
