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.

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.

  3 Beechwood Drive Portishead BS20 8ES

  Beech (T1) Fell. Reason It is considered that the tree is in terminal decline. The presence of Ganoderma austrael fruiting bodies around the basal area of the tree and lower stem indicate decay within these area which could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the tree leaving it susceptible to wind throw or stem fracture. Decay cavities at 4m up the stem have further compromised the structural integrity of the tree. The extensive dieback and dead branches within the upper and western canopy would indicate issues with the normal physiological functions of the tree potential resulting from the fungal infection around the base. The dwelling to the south and public footpath to the east are within falling distance were the tree to suffer wind throw or stem fracture. It is therefore considered that the tree poses a significant health and safety risk to the residents, their property and the general public using the footpath. See Arboricultural report attached.
