Proposal
T1 to T3 - Removal of 3 Holly Trees T4 - Removal of Hawthorn Tree There are 3 Holly trees - numbers 2,3 and 4 and 1 Hawthorn tree - number 1 that have grown out of our Privet boundary hedge. The Privet hedge is totally dead at one end and the leaves are turning black further along, (we are informed it may be honey fungus). There is a certain amount of heave to our drive which the hawthorn has created, this specimen has had its top removed at some point in the past and looks like a pollard. My neighbour at Avondale has also had problems with her sewer pipes, Yorkshire water having to remove tree roots to unblock. The Hawthorn is identified in pink and the Hollies in blue on the plan

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.
