   Decision issued: Approval with Conditions

   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.

  Carry out a crown reduction of the mature Oak tree (Quercus robur) annotated T1. Reduce height and spread by approximately 2 metres from the branch tips, from 19m - 17m (height) 17m-15m (spread) maintaining the trees natural shape and form In conjunction with the crown reduction, undertake a crown lift over the building to achieve a minimum clearance height of approximately 5 metres above ground level roof level where practicable. Tree has dropped deadwood in the past and is causing locals some concern due to over extended branches over roof, the aim would be to remove these to avoid any future potential of damage from branches contacting the roof.
