Planning application

P224114/J

The Old Rectory Cradley Malvern Herefordshire WR13 5LQ

Granted Herefordshire, County of Works to trees covered by TPO

Proposal

Proposed works to Lime (T8) and Lime (T9) - fell as they are causing the curved retaining wall at the South West corner of the boundary to lean out into the road. Once felled, the area will be landscaped to reduce the pressure on the wall, the damage to the wall will be repaired, and three new lime trees will be planted. An earlier application rejected the felling of these trees, but permitted the felling of a third lime (T10). Since then, the condition of the wall by trees T8 and T9 has continued to worsen, with the cracks continuingto propagate.

As published by the council, reference P224114/J

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.
