What refusal means

The process from here

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

About prior approval applications

How this application type works

Prior approval applications arise where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, such as larger home extensions, changes of use to housing or agricultural buildings. The council may only consider the specific matters set out in the rules, for example transport, flooding or appearance, and in many classes the work may proceed if the council does not respond within the deadline, commonly 56 days.

All the trees on the site contribute hugely to street amenity. It would be greatly appreciated if the previous replacement regime can be continued to replace the two trees to be felled; ideally with more than two trees and to include some large canopy species, to ensure the visual amenity of the treed landscape will continue into the future for environmental, wildlife and health and wellbeing benefits. Informative: the Council apologises for the delay in issuing the tree work decision notice and any inconvenience this may have caused.
