Planning application
Evergreen Barn 15 Post Office Lane Redmile Leicestershire NG13 0GG
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Permission is sought to remove and grind out up to 9 tree stumps on the 15 Post Office Lane side of a boundary shared with 4 Baker?s Lane. The stumps are up to about 6 feet high, and are the remnants of hawthorn trees which were previously 15-30 feet high, which were previously cut to 6 feet high without permission. The stumps are to be removed prior to the planting of new trees to restore privacy along the border, with a view to proving the new trees with the best chance of survival. The attached Google Earth image shows the location of the stumps, indicated by the two white dots and the joining yellow line. The road shown towards the bottom of the image is Bakers? Lane, towards the top Post Office Lane.

Decision
Awaiting decision

Melton took a median of 105 days over the applications it decided in the last year.
What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Melton for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
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.
