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.

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.

  H0167 - Horse Chestnut which had scaffold limb failure December weekend of 6th/7th 2025. Remaining stem has high frequency of woodpecker holes, historic limb failures and cavities to main stem with bacterial staining. I propose creating a monolith at 12m to retain many of these habitat features. As you can see from the picture in leaf taken in May the remaining standing stem is in a poor physiological state. Tree code 151000 - Sycamore on our boundary with a third party property which is now encroaching on the property, has included significant included bark within crown spring and has been pruned poorly in the past which has allowed decay in partially occluded wounds. The stem is also making mature hawthorns become subdominant. I propose to fell the tree to allow mature hawthorns stems of greater biodiversity value to grow on.

  Tree to fell/dismantle. Tree Tag: B0046. Horse chestnut stem located at Kingston end of Barge Walk, next to area of boat moorings. The stem has multiple fungus fruiting bodies throughout the basal area, suspected Ganoderma spp. The basal area sounds like it is hollowing to the south west, through use of a sounding mallet. Stem lean and crown bias is toward the boat moorings.

Following project completion the area will be replanted with a mix of native species to help promote biodiversity within the area and to be in keeping with the historical and cultural setting of the site.
