5 Barton Bridge Rise Raglan Monmouthshire NP15 2JU
Proposal
Proposed works to A & B (Leylandi) Height reduction and lateral trim to a linear group of Leylandi, currently partially functioning as an overgrown boundary line of trees. Reduce overall height from approximately 6 metres down to a managed hedge height of 2 metres. Proposed work to C (2x Apple trees) Complete a targeted crown clearance of 2x Apple trees to manually extract heavy infestations of ivy and brambles currently colonising the inner stem and canopies. To facilitate the safe disentanglement and removal of invasive climbers, minor lateral branches will be selectively pruned back to safe growth points. Proposed works to D & E (2x Pine trees) Crown reduction and thinning of 2x pine trees by 25% (currently between 6/7 meters tall). Lateral branch reduction by the garage and driveway by a maximum of 1.5 meters, pruning back to suitable growth points.?

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.

Atholl Cottage Old Monmouth Road Raglan Monmouthshire NP15 2JX
In our garden we have a scotch fir that has grown to a height of over 15m (not accurate assumption) and is beginning to lean over. As it is in our garden we am concerned that with the height and the leaning it may become dangerous and if it did fall it could damage my property or the public. We therefore would like permission to remove. Although, we believe, we are in a conservation area we have not been informed that it has a conservation order (we planted the tree ourselves approximately 25 years ago) We also have a willow that we plant approximately 5 years ago which has grown more rapidly that expected and wish to reduce the height by approximately 50% and reshape which will allows us to maintain easier.

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.
