5 Albany Road Abergavenny Monmouthshire NP7 7BD
Proposal
I have an Ash tree at the rear of my property on the corner boundary with my neighbours to the rear and side (it is the NE corner of my property) which clearly has dieback. I have had a tree surgeon assess it and confirm that it has dieback. It is next to another Ash which was clearly taken down to about 3m of trunk a number of years ago before we moved in. I will be using a tree surgeon to cut the whole thing down to as close to ground level as possible. The stump will be left in as it is directly adjacent to the fence.

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.
