Planning application

14 Millbrook Fence Burnley Lancashire BB12 9PE

Granted Pendle 22/0093/TPO Works to a tree with a TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

The tree we would like to complete work on is one of a pair of copper beech trees on the boundary of our property (TPO/NO3/1986). We would like to complete a crown lift of the bottom branches to stop the overhang onto our garden and the neighbouring land. This causes excessive shade and blocks the view. The work carried out would remove 1 full branch and then take off the ends of a few of lower branches. It would also cut back the brash growth from the trunk and seal the cuts made. The work would not affect more than 10% of the canopy amount.

As published by the council, reference 22/0093/TPO

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.

    Re submitted application 1 year later due to continued growth as tree is in need of management - The Yew in question has recently caused the clients dog to undergo surgery due to the ingestion of yew berries and it overly concerned that this may happen again. The tree is over grown of the area in my opinion and also i may add that it does'nt seem lie it adds very much value to the area and also the situ of the tree it is only going to cause more concern so the client would like it removed to ground level
