Proposal
T1- Betula utilis var Jacquemontii- Himilayan Birch- maintain size and shape but thin to reduce density of branches up to a third- target weeping branches that cannot support load and ruining shape of tree- allow more light into garden. T2-Corylus avellana- Hazel- multistem/coppice - Remove/ fell - creating excessive shading to new bifold doors and blocking side access. Have tried coppicing in the past but is very vigorous in regrowth and the wrong tree for the location. replace with small multistem flowering tree from native family in more suitable location. see document 4. proposed garden design. T3- Malus -Apple tree- Remove/ fell- Young tree already creating access issues for side access. as part of the garden design we want to lower the patio here. currently neighbours property is retaining soil and we want to lower this to be 200mm below ground floor height. must remove the tree to do this. T4-7 Malus and Pyrus mix- Group of apple and pair espaliers grown along boundary that have grown out into trees- Remove/ fell- the trees are causing excessive shading and are unpractical to manage requiring specialist pruning at least twice a year. The fence behind is falling apart and the removal of these trees will allow access to replace. Windfall fruit is creating an issue with rats. Replace with beech hedge that is easy to maintain with hedge cutter.

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 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.
