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.

    T1 - Norway Maple Height - 18m Average crown spread - 5m Proposed Works: Reduce the tree by 0.5m to leave final height of 17.5m and spread of 4.5m. All works undertaken in accordance with BS3998 guidelines. T2 - Norway Maple Height - 19m Average crown spread - 5m Proposed Works: Reduce the tree by 0.5m to leave a final height of 18.5m and a spread of 4.5m. All works undertaken in accordance with BS3998 guidelines. Reason for proposed works: T1 and T2 are located on the northern boundary, approximately 5m from the neighbouring property and are considered to be a contributing factor to the shading of windows. A crown reduction of up to 0.5, will provide a modest improvement in light penetration while retaining the principal framework of both crowns and minimising the wounding required.

    2 Grace Avenue Shenley Radlett Hertfordshire WD7 9DN

    (T4)Conifer tree, to remove a limb picture attached. (T3)Yew Tree Crown reduction by 1.5-2m - we will be reducing the tree from 12m to 11m in height and 11m to 9.5m in width. Yew tree to remove all dead diseased or crossing branches 2 inches in diameter or larger. The reasons for the works is that the tree is very large and needs to have a crown reduction as it is causing the grass surrounding it to be heavily shaded and causing locking of sunlight to the mansion house. The tenants do not want it removed for various reasons, just slightly reduced.
