Planning application
The Old Vicarage Kirkwhelpington Newcastle Upon Tyne Northumberland NE19 2RT
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Trees in a Conservation Area: T1 - Acer Platanoides - Reduce limbs on one side of tree overhanging neighbouring property by up to 2 metres; T2 - Aesculus Hippocastanum - Remove limbs on one side of tree overhanging neighbouring property's roof. The tree is multi-stemmed and one of the stems is right on the boundary line, therefore it would not be possible to reduce these limbs enough to have enough of an impact while still leaving suitable growth on.

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.
