   Decision issued: Application Permitted with Conditions

4. 4 Aug 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

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.

  Notification of intent to Fell No. 1 Tree and removal of conifer hedge within a Conservation Area. T1 - Fell large conifer tree in front garden adjacent to mini roundabout at the junction of Coles Lane and Hayes End Lane. This will be in conjunction with removal of a nearby conifer hedge , both of which have overgrown our boundary wall by some distance. The combined works will improve visibility at the junction for car drivers and pedestrians- the junior school is opposite us. We will replace with low fencing and a lower mixed hedge which will be easier to maintain and set back from the wall and fence.
