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.

    This application is for the removal of T2 Thuja. We recently applied and was not granted due to other trees being listed in the application, it was mentioned the council would be happy to grant consent for the removal of T2 and plant a new tree in it's place. T2 Thuja is located in the back garden growing over the roof of the garage. It is located behind the fence but still in the customers garden as they installed the fence many years ago infront of the tree. T2 has outgrown it's space with concerns of the root system damaging the garage and pushing against the fence. If the lateral limbs were to be cut away from the garage roof it would leave the tree unsightly and not solve the problem with the root system. The customer would like to replant 2 new trees to provide a privacy screen once removed. We have looked at other options than removing T2 but given the damage caused to the roof and gutters from debris falling we see no option than to ask for removal and replanting. All work will be BS3998 compliant.

    Land Adjacent To 150 Fleetwood Close Tadworth Surrey KT20 5PG

    Trees 1 and 2 (adjacent 150) prune back from their dwelling/garage by circa 3m and remove deadwood. The branches of both trees are extending across the curtilage of 150 Fleetwood Close. Some are in close proximity to the dwelling. Early pruning work, as requested, will enable the tree crown to be managed without recourse to substantial pruning cuts. Early intervention is therefore considered to be best practice in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations. Tree 3 reduce height to circa 6m above ground level. The tree is in decline and presents no regenerative growth from lower on the branches or stem structure. If regenerative growth had been present it would have been feasible to specify pruning works to suitable growth points. Given the state of decline and absence of suitable pruning points it is considered prudent to remove the major branches but retain the lower stem for its ecological value. Works can be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations.
