Planning application
3 Bluebell Court Healing North East Lincolnshire DN41 7JA
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The proposal is to pollard 4 trees to a height of 13 metres with a spread of 4-5 metres measured from the base of the tree. The existing canopy within the new framework will be retained. The pollarding will be a component part of an ongoing programme of maintenance with a 5 year frequency, reviewing the growth from the pollarding and new, decaying or dead branches. Reasons: The canopies of the trees are encroaching on our property and that of two adjoining properties in Clematis Drive. Root damage has also occurred to a building in Clematis Drive. In our case the size of the canopies has resulted in a significant reduction in sunlight throughout the property in summer months.

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.

Tree 1 Multi-stem Ash: The multi-stem Ash has suffered significant structural decline. Two stems have already failed, with one failed stem currently hung up within the canopy. Several cavities are present at the base of the tree together with fungal fruiting bodies, indicating advanced decay. Proposed Works: Reduce the two remaining stems to approximately 5 metres in height, making suitable reduction cuts where practicable to leave a stable framework. Remove the failed and hung-up material as part of the works. Tree 2 Single-stem Ash: Proposed Works: Reduce the single-stem Ash tree to approximately 6 metres in height which is approximately half of its original height Tree 3 Double-stem Ash: Proposed Works: Reduce the right-hand stem of the double-stem Ash tree to approximately 6 metres in height, cutting back to viable growth points

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.
