Planning application
38 Criffel Avenue London SW2 4BN
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Back Garden: T1 Apple. Fell to Ground Level. T2 Wisteria and Pyracantha 50% Reduction. Council Note: Section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 applies only to works to trees within a conservation area. The notification also refers to works to shrubs and climbers, including wisteria and pyracantha, which are not protected or controlled under section 211. The Council has therefore assessed and recorded its position only in respect of the tree works. No consideration has been given to works to shrubs or climbers, and no consent is required from the Council for such works.

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.

Council Note: On inspection and review of Council records, the site at 38 Criffel Avenue SW2 4BN is not subject to a Tree Preservation Order and is not located within a Conservation Area.
