Planning application
211498PTC
50 Western Gardens Ealing London W5 3RU
Proposal
We respectfully request permission to carefully section fell a conifer in the right-hand corner of the garden, as this tree has outgrown the garden, and is blocking out the light, damaging the lawn, whilst overhanging the pavement to the side causing a mess on this and parked cars. Furthermore, the homeowner has an autistic child who likes to climb objects and the tree presents a risk in that the child may climb and get stuck or fall from the tree. To mitigate the loss of the tree, we recommend a smaller, more suitable replacement tree (e.g. betula pendula).

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.
