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.

    Castle Acre Castle And Defences Pyes Lane Castle Acre Norfolk

    To carry out work to an Acer pseudplatanus at the castle as a result of a recent tree safety inspection carried out for us, the inspectors notes are below - 3012 - Acer pseudoplatanus - Healthy overall. Tree remains on pronounced lean toward footpath due to shading from adjacent sycamore. Risk to integrity of historic banking considered as tree increases in size. As vitality is high, crown management via weight reduction may be sensible, allowing maintenance of a smaller tree going forwards. Although not urgent, pragmatic intervention via 40% reduction would be justified in order to preserve the tree and castle banking. Works within 3yrs reasonable.

    24 Crown Street Methwold THETFORD Norfolk IP26 4NR

    2/TPO/00205 - Two lime trees located out the front of the property that our client wants reduced. One of the trees has shed a branch onto neighbours property. We are looking to thin the trees and give a crown reduction up to 3m depending on pruning points and to manage a shape of both trees. The trees are full of epicormic growth and are covering the lients/neighbours garden. They want them reduced to keep on top of growth, manage the trees from having future limb failures, allow more light onto grass and give a balanced canopy. As you know lime trees are very fast growing so they want to keep on top of the trees as they are taking up all the space in the garden. I can see they have been done previously in the past

    Walnut tree planted by ourselves approx. 20 years ago - we want to 'uplift' the tree by removing the lowest 6 branches. The branches are significantly overhanging the kitchen roof of our house, rubbing against the flue to our Woodburner in our kitchen/diner and casting shade over our greenhouse making it impossible to grow anything.
