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 lawful development applications

How this application type works

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

    T1 - Ash - Fell to ground level. The tree is showing clear signs of ash die back on its left hand stem. The tree has already lost a limb years ago, possibly due to ash die back, it is hard to tell. There is also a lot of damage on the lower trunk by the ground level with the bark starting to flake. My client is wanting to put an outhouse in his garden but is worried with the ash being above the planned & approved area. My client has an abundance of trees in the garden so it wouldnt affect the immediate landscape for himself or his neighbours as they all have a number of large trees in their gardens. T2 - Sweet Chestnut - 2.5 metre Canopy reduction. This will improve the health of the chestnut and improve sunlight into my clients garden. T3 - Sweet Chestnut - 2.5 metre Canopy reduction. This will improve the health of the chestnut and improve sunlight into my clients garden.
