Proposal
T1 Lombardy Polar -The tree is positioned in the front garden boundry wall. It requires removal as it is showing signs of disease which has impacted the trees health and caused it to lean. Symptoms are cracked, peeling and discoloured bark causing some branches to die. The roots of the tree have caused damage to the garden wheelchair ramp and also the pavement. There is also a silver birch growing in its shadow which is weak and would benefit immensely to receiving more sunlight.

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.
