Planning application
Woodlands Mill Lane Docking King's Lynn Norfolk PE31 8NX
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
3 x fir tree / conifers at the front of the property, approx 30 feet tall impacting on the growth of native holly trees and causing risk to power lines. Planted too close together to allow effective management. We would like to have these trees removed by a tree surgeon to allow the native holly trees to recover and protect the power lines. 2 x conifers to the southern perimeter of the property approx 20 feet tall bordering neighbouring property causing shading and moss build up. Again planted too close together preventing healthy growth of both trees. We would like to have these trees removed to improve light to the property and prevent damage to property.

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.
