   Decision issued: Raise No Objection

   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.

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.

  (T1) Eucalyptus - section fell to ground level Height 12.5m Crown spread 8.0m The tree is in an inappropriate location overhanging the railway. CA permission was granted 2 years ago for a reduction, which was applied for when a previous resident lived at the property. This work was not carried out. We and the current resident think it prudent to remove this tree, taking into account the fact that the railway will have to be closed every time it needs to be worked on, at great expense to the resident. It will also pose a hazard to the railway lines if allowed to continue growing.
