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 lawful development applications

How this application type works

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

    T1 Leyland Cypress - We need this tree felling as it has started hanging over the wall and has now become dangerous to anyone who walks past it. It has also started to collide with the brick wall meaning eventually it will topple which in itself is dangerous. We are happy to plant another tree of similar species in the same spot, but further back so that when its fully grown it remains isolated in the front garden and doesn't hang over the road
