Proposal
T1 - Remove the dying tree and plant two 13 ft multi stem silver birch trees The tree has grown at a 45 degree angle and is in poor health and has only grown in one direction out over the adjoining pavement and road. The tree looses more and more branches every time the wind is more than light and poses not only a risk to pedestrians but also cars and the road.

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.
