Grosmont Castle Wood B4347 Grosmont Bridge To Whitehouse Farm Grosmont Monmouthshire
Proposal
We will be accessing the woodland from the North using existing forest tracks which are within the conservation area but outside of the SAM boundary. Due to the gradient of the woodland, the machinery will sit on the track and trees will be hand felled down and up to the machinery and converted in situ. Timber lengths will then be extracted by forwarder to the stacking area at The Lawns Farm, which is outside of the conservation area. Brash and tops will be left on sit and cut up into pieces no bigger than 1 metre in length. There will be no ground disturbance required as part of this operation. There are multiple trees which have individual and group TPOs on them, we will be requiring a site visit with the County's Tree Officer to discuss how to retain these trees except where there are disease issues.

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 five 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.

Elmdale Monmouth Road Raglan Monmouthshire NP15 2HQ
The proposed works entail the removal of growth which has grown in the direction of the house. The branches are now within touching distance of the wall and roof of the house. There are also 'suckers' which have grown from the base of the tree which are directly overhanging the fence. A arborist has been contacted and has provided a proposed plan of pruning the tree which will minmise the impact on the tree, whilst removing the branches growing at the house. Pictures have been provided of the branches and the proximity of the house, as well as the tree surgeon's proposed work. The tree is a mature horse chesnut tree which is growing in the garden of the neighbouring property, Elmdale, Monmouth Road, Raglan.
