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 volume of leaf litter generated by a large canopy is also creating additional tasks for my client clearing gutters and causing blockages. as such it is considered to to be having an affect on the reasonable enjoyment of the property for my client. The tree has been maintained on this program for many cycles and it has proven that it has always responded well and has had no detrimental effect 02 - Pittosporum - Remove the 3 stems nearest the fence at the rear.
