Proposal
Rear T1 Sycamore x 1 (Acer pseudoplatanus) This 14m self-seeded sycamore tree has outgrown it's location. It is encroaching upon the garden and the neighbour’s car park. Suggested work: - fell to ground level using advanced rigging techniques - poison stump to prevent regrowth Rear T5 Fig x 1 (Ficus carica) This 10m mature fig tree has previously been reduced, it's cyclical prune is now due. The tree is encroaching upon the house and cutting out a significant amount of light from the rear of the property. Suggested work: - reduce back to previous reduction points, equating to an all round reduction of 1.5-2m - ensure cut back from the building by minimum 1.5m

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.
