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.

This reduction will bring the extended limbs back in to the main crown structure and reduce risk of extended limbs failing due to previous pruning cuts. Current crown size 22x13m. T2- Lime: Crown reduction of over extended limbs (target prune on whole crown) 1-2.5m. This reduction will bring the extended limbs back in to the main crown structure and reduce risk of extended limbs failing due to previous pruning cuts. Current crown size 20x13m. T3- Lime: Reduction on NE side of crown 2-2.5m, lime tree has been removed from the western side of T3 this has caused the early development growth to lean to the E and removing the tree has exposed the crown (T3) to the environment change. Reducing the crown on eastern side will promote better structure and reduce risk of failing. Current crown size 22x13m. Location/risk- T1,2 & 3 have highways and dwellings in target zone including oil tanks (domestic). Public foot fall is high due to local amenities route. All above work in line with BS 3998 (2010).
