Proposal
North Lonsdale RDC TPO No 4 1970 - A1- Sycamore, Rowan, Cherry, Ash and Holly Trees. As part of the water mains rehabilitation works on behalf of United Utilities, we require to renew 2.5km of water mains (4'' PV). On this location, we will require to Open Cut (open excavations) about 30m after the existing bridge towards Cumbria Way on carriageway in order to install the new water main and fittings. We will abandon the existing water main (existing patches shown on the carriageway, about position of existing water main). We will use mechanical digging as preference, however on this location, we can use hand digging and VacEx to not damage any tree roots. Reinstatement as per found once works are completed. No expectation to trim/ felling/ remove any tree. Taking as reference three trees stems, we have a min RPA radius of 22.8m, 12m and 15m, therefore we will be working within the RPA radius.

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.
