What a grant of permission means

The process from here

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.

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.

    The proposed work is to a single Magnolia tree marked M1 in the attached Plan PLAN 1. It abuts the NW corner of No. 9 McKay Road in the front garden and is right on the corner of the building. The foliage spreads across the front East bedroom of No. 9, the guttering, with the roof above, up to and beyond the apex of the roofline. To the East it also spreads across the return side paths to both No. 9 and No.11 and up and above the roof of No. 11. The foliage obscures daylight to the front bedroom at No. 9 and the side paths below No. 9 and No. 11 and runs closely around the gutters of both houses and the size now means there could be even soon be some roof damage . Crown reduction of 2 to 2.5 metres metres and thinning of some 25% to 30% was undertaken in August 2022 when the tree was significantly shorter and smaller than now. Hence it is proposed to reduce the height now by some 3 - 3.5 metres and conduct careful crown thinning of 25 to 35%. This is slightly more than in 2022 in order to get back to a more manageable size once again, but which should still allow the tree to continue to display its attractive spring foliage as before.
