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.

    1) Felling of two sycamore trees. The property lacks a fence along c.25 metres of its eastern boundary that surrounds the house, with the boundary defined instead by a tree line of 19 trees, comprising primarily sycamore trees, but also a lime and holly trees. The tree line has regular gaps and is not secure, evidenced by a burglary on the 15th August with the burglar stepping through the tree line from the neighbouring access road to garages on the eastern boundary of the property. In order to erect a straight fence line to secure the property, we have been advised by multiple fencing contractors that two sycamore trees need to be felled to create a straight line along the remainder of the tree line to avoid conceding a material section of the width of the garden. We therefore intend to fell two trees that are positioned further into the garden (out of line with the rest of the trees). 2) Pruning / reduction of crown of sycamore tree in close proximity to the property. There is a sycamore tree within five metres of the property with branches touching the windows of the property and causing a nuisance / noise when touching the window. We intend to prune the tree and reduce the size of the offending branches to give clearance to the house.
