Planning application
9 New Road Waltham Grimsby North East Lincolnshire DN37 0EN
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Trees No. 1 and No. 2 Holly and Yew joint crown reduce crown from approx. 7.3m width x 6.5 high to approx. 5.5m x 4.5m Tree No. 3 Sequoia, It is proposed to remove the three lower most limbs, reduce any further low hanging branches to a suitable point to leave a crown height of circa 7-9m dependant on most appropriate cut point and for a minority branches to be reduced horizontally to maintain a distance of 1.5 to 2m away from the front of the house taken as the gutter, together with general dead-wooding. The lowest limbs are increasingly at a level whereby they are getting closer to the ground and this active management will ensure the long-term wellbeing of the tree and property. Tree No. 4 Yew previously reduced Yew now a tall bush. No works planned. Trees No. 5 & 6 both Yew forming a joint crown reduce crown from approx. 10m width x 6.6 high to approx. 6m x 4.5m Tree No. 7 (Holly) previously felled tree that has been allowed to grow and provide an ornamental element. Does not appear to be at the size requiring permission but is starting to compete with the least successful Yew tree (No. 7). Thus, this Holly may be removed again Tree No. 8 (Yew) reduce crown from approx. 7m width x 6.5 high to approx. 6m x 4.5m Tree No. 9 (Yew) reduce crown from approx. 8m width x 6.5 high to approx. 6m x 4.5m Tree No. 10 (Silver Birch) As per approval DC/520/11/WAB, it is proposed to renew the consent to remove this tree Tree No. 11 (Hazel) Prune right back to allow managed regrowth and to compliment tree no. 11

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.

1 Green Acres Waltham Grimsby North East Lincolnshire DN37 0QG
am writing regarding a large spruce at 1 Green Acres, Waltham, DN37 0QG. The tree is very large and mature and is situated close to the property. Its dense canopy causes substantial shading and a significant loss of natural daylight to the house and garden. I would be grateful if you could confirm whether this spruce is covered by a Tree Preservation Order and, if so, provide the TPO reference and plan identifying the tree. I would also like to request that a Tree Officer inspects the tree and considers whether removal would be appropriate given its current size, proximity to the property and the significant shading it causes. I note that the Council has previously permitted the removal and reduction of TPO-protected trees at 4 and 5 Green Acres where shading and proximity to properties were relevant considerations, including application DM/0101/20/TPO at 4 Green Acres. If removal were considered appropriate, I would be happy to discuss suitable replacement planting in a more appropriate location.
