Hillview 1A Main Street Whitwell Rutland LE15 8BW
Proposal
Remove Sycamore tree (T1) in corner of drive to just above ground level. Remove Silver Birch tree (T2) to just above ground level - This tree has been reduced on at least two previous occasions and dominates a large part of the garden- it is close to the house and litter from the tree regularly interferes with guttering and creates considerable darkness within the house. Remove Cherry-Plum tree (T3) by Ceanothus to just above ground level. Remove 3 Prunus (T4-6) and 1 Hawthorn tree (T7) alongside stone wall to just above ground level

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.
