4. 28 Jul 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

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.

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

  FRONT: ONE Eucalyptus (T1)(ht.14.4m) FELL. FRONT SIDE: ONE Privet hedge 4m section (H1)(ht.4.2m) FELL. Reason: for 4m clearance from front left corner of the property FRONT: ONE Wisteria (C1)(ht.2.8m) FELL (exempt works). Reason: The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability. Informative A: huge thanks that the front hedge is being retained for urban greening benefits and for wildlife, to reduce increasingly high prolonged temperatures due to climate change, and for flood mitigation but disappointed that hydrangea (SG1) removal not being considered first, before felling the Eucalyptus or that underpinning the bay is not being considered as the long-term solution to the structural issue which is confined to the right-hand side of the front two storey bay windows with no cracks at ground level; site investigation does not appear conclusive on cause of damage, with level monitoring showing most movement at left-hand side of the bay, foundations of the bay depth 700mm are below current guidelines for clay soils, hydrangea roots to 1.8m, soil not desiccated, water ingress/penetration into cellar not addressed, historic distortions and previous episode in 2009. Informative B: replacement tree planting is encouraged to restore streetscape amenity, which could be from the NHBC low water demand tree list which includes birch, elder, hazel, laburnum, magnolia, mulberry, fig and holly - the Arboricultural report considers replacement planting appropriate (p.2). Informatives C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
