   Decision issued: Grant Permission

3. 1 Sep 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

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.

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.

  1 x Robinia (T1): section fell to ground level - less than 10m from building. Tree has been dropping some large, dead branches into the garden where children play. The roots are causing patio slabs to lift making a trip hazard. Also causing excess shading to neighbouring garden. Height 14.0m Crown spread 9.0m Officer note: Tree Preservation Order (TPO) No. 523 (2025) was served by the Council on 30 September 2025. The tree is now legally protected. Although the applicant selected both TPO and Conservation Area on the application form, the submission was not accompanied by the technical information required under the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) (England) Regulations 2012 (SI 2012 No. 605). Accordingly, the form was incorrectly validated and cannot be treated as a valid application for consent. A formal TPO application supported by appropriate arboricultural evidence and justification for the proposed works must be submitted before the Council can lawfully determine the application.
