Granted King’s Lynn and West Norfolk 24/00050/TPO Works to/Fell Tree covered by TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

2/TPO/00231: T1, Lime - Felling and removal, the tree is in terminal decline exhibiting symptoms typical of the fungal species Phytopthora. Replacement planting with Fagus (Beech) species or Taxodium distichum or ascendens (Swamp cypress) species. T2 to T10 - Pruning work to reduce safety risks without resorting to re-pollarding or overall heavy crown reduction, focus on maintaining crown form with thinning throughout the crown, lifting of the crown and reducing any overextended lateral branches with a high probability of failure. Thinning of the crown shall be carried out evenly to no more than 20% of the live canopy to be removed in a single operation. Crown lifting shall be to a maximum height above ground level of no more than 3 metres. Lateral branch reduction to reduce the risk of limb failure especially in parts of the crowns exposed to wind.

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.
