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 - Reduce the height from approx. 13m to approx. 10m and reduce the spread by approx. 2.0m to retain the current shape/appearance as determined previously by the tree surgeon. T2 - Reduce the height of the branches/twigs immediately adjacent to the overhead phone line to give a clearance of approx. 0.5m. The amount removed from each relevant branch will vary from approx. 1.0m to 0.5m, resulting in a localized reduction in height from approx. 8m to 7m. T3 - Complete removal to ground level with stump grinding. T4 - Reduce main branch lengths by 1-2.5m approx. as required to maintain the openness and visual balance of the tree and to avoid overgrowth of the wall/road and the neighbouring property and at the same time improving the natural light levels in the ?living? rooms at the front of 1A

  T1- Lime tree. Reduce back to previously pollarded areas approximately 2 metres. This tree has historically been pollarded in an attempt to keep in line with surrounding pollarded Lime trees. This tree however appears to be taller the then the others in the surrounding. Reduce the height a further 1.5 metres beyond previously reduced area totalling 3.5m reduction from the top. This would achieve a better uniformity with the surrounding Lime trees, the home owner gaining more light into the garden and property below assisting in the lawn maintenance & plants would also benefit. Current height 14 metres. resulting height 10.5m. Current width 11 metres. Resulting width 8m.
