The Moorlands High Street Boston Spa Wetherby LS23 6ED
Proposal
T1 Beech: Remove (maybe leave eco-pole) - the main stem is like a pipe, hollow for 10 meters and riddled with cavities all the way up. there is a heavy crown on top of this and i feel the stem is unlikely to support this much longer.I would like to remove this tree within the next 10 days.
As published by the council, reference 26/02970/TR

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.
