Proposal
T1 Beech - To remove lowest limb towards the neighbouring property, to reduce the lopsided and excessive weight of the canopy in that direction. To lessen the risk of limb tree failure. Remove epicormic growth from the stem up to the height of the lowest limb to allow more light beneath the canopy. T2 Beech - To remove the lowest 3 branches which are overhanging the neighbouring property and the area where the cars are parked T3 - T7 Beech - To remove the epicormic growth from the stems to a height of 6m to allow for easier high vehicle access past the trees and increase the light beneath the canopies. T8 and T9 Beech - To remove the epicormic growth to 6m as above, to allow more light beneath the trees

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.
