Proposal
T1 Holm Oak (Tag No.1735) labelled as T45 - Proposed work is to fell the tree and have the stump ground out. This work is deemed urgent due to advanced decay and poses an unacceptable level of risk. A Holm Oak will be replanted in an adjacent location. T2 Sycamore (Tag No.1646) labelled as T1 - This tree is to be felled and have the stump ground out. The tree is directly adjacent to the main vehicular/pedestrian entrance to the estate and a single-story neighbouring property. It has extensive dieback and squirrel damage to the crown. It has previously had crown cleaning and retrenchment work undertaken to allow us to monitor the decline and manage the risks. It regularly loses branches. This work is pre-emptive against growing risk. A Quercus x bimundorum 'Crimson Oak' will be replanted in an adjacent location. T3 Scots Pine (Tag No. 1852) labelled as T182 - Proposed work is to fell the tree. This struggling, leaning and misshapen tree compromises the growth of an adjacent Pine. A Ginkgo Biloba 'Fastigiata Blagon' is to be planted in an adjacent, more open position.

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.
