   Decision issued: Application Permitted

   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 within a Conservation Area. Felling of tree T5 Mountain Ash on Knoll Arb report Oct 2025. (Please note this is directly behind T6 on report). The application follows a previous application to fell tree T6. It had been hoped by felling T6 that T5 may revive given less competition but this has not been the case and the recent hot weather has deteriorated the tree further. Brynley Andrews Arb Consultant has visually inspected the tree and advised it now needs felling for safety reasons given close proximity to the laundry. AMENDED SPECIFICATION 11.08.26: T5 - Cypress not Mountain Ash as previously reported.
