Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
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.

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.
