Planning application
Slades Paddock Main Street East Coker Yeovil Somerset BA22 9JY
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Notification of intent to Fell No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T1 Lawson Cypress to remove to ground level.. The tree has been reduced several times in the past but the root plate is now starting to outgrow its situation and will start to affect the building in the near future. Therefore as there are no long term prospects for the tree, I believe it is time for its removal.

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.
