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 householder applications

How this application type works

Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

    FLAT C, 1 ST MARGARET'S ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1YL

    REAR: ONE Pagoda tree (T1)(ht.15m) LATERAL REDUCE 4 branches by 5m to branch collar on one of the 4 codominant stems that leans towards the house at approx.45 degrees, remove deadwood. Reason: health & safety, to reduce weight and sail on one of 4 main stems, to reduce risk of branches breaking and falling. Informative A: the sensitive management of the tree for landscape amenity of Brockley conservation area, urban forest canopy/urban greening, wellbeing, wildlife, environmental benefits and to mitigate the climate and biodiversity emergencies is greatly appreciated. Informative B: please use cut branches in the garden to create habitat wood piles, and/ or a 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: please continue to plant shrubs, hedges, climbers, perennials, bulbs and groundcover for varied garden landscape amenity, wildlife habitat, plants for pollinators, improve air quality.

    39 ST MARGARET'S ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1YL

    REAR: ONE Sycamore (T5)(ht:7m) FELL and replace. REAR SIDE (to Chalsey Rd): ONE Pear (T6)(ht:5m) FELL. (previous notice to fell pear for structural issues at 1 & 3 Chalsey Rd ref. DC/22/129258) Reason: structural issues from differential foundation movement at 1 & 3 Chalsey Rd. Informative A: pear (T6) contributes to streetscape amenity, felling will diminish urban greening and amenity, loss of seasonal foliage and flower interest. Informative B: the voluntary replacement tree planting on a 1:1 basis (p.3 PRI letter 03/01/2023) is hugely welcomed - suggest tree selection from NHBC low water demand species such as mulberry, laburnum, holly, fig, elder, magnolia. Informative C: please create habitat log piles from cut timber and/or lay cut branches between stakes on site as linear 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative D: Site investigations (Lawson Martin Long Engineers ltd, 21 Sept 2019 & Sedgwick Engineering Appraisal December 2022), suggest while trees and vegetation near the flank wall of 1 Chalsey Rd increase the risk of movement to no.1 and indirectly to no.3, structural issues are being caused by several underlying factors: crack pattern not related to normal clay shrinkage subsidence, more from rotting organic material in the underlying clay on black peat, indicative of both properties rotating about their bases, differential movement from previous part underpinning, bomb damage during the second world war, shallow foundations, the only viable solution being installation of a piled foundation to party wall, internal and external walls to main building, 3 Chalsey Rd.
