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 heritage and listed buildings applications

How this application type works

Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.

    Flat B, 45 Ecclesbourne Road, London, N1 3AF

    1. I am applying for permission to fell and remove the plane tree in my rear garden. Please see attached photos of the tree and its setting. I have also attached the aerial view of the garden and tree I wish to remove. 2. You shall see from the attached photos that: a. The tree is of an excessive size, with correspondingly invasive roots. b. The wall of my neighbour is cracked. I am extremely concerned that this cracking has been caused by the trees routes and that the tree may be undermining the structural integrity of other buildings including my own. I am concerned of the risk of subsidence given the tree's proximity to a number of buildings. c. The tree is overbearing and blocks out light to both my garden and my neighbours. d. The tree is not visible from the street and shall not affect the amenity of the conservation zone - it is only visible from my flat.
