Planning application

33 Grove Avenue Yeovil Somerset BA20 2BE

Granted Somerset 26/01267/TCA Work to Trees

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 and Carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T1 is a small tree which I cannot identify, and which has mostly died-off now. The tree is obscured in plan view by a healthy, large beach tree, and nestles between other trees in a tightly packed manner. The tree itself, whilst not of immediately of danger (to occupants) has started to drop branches, and over-hangs the 'right of way path' running along the border of my garden with the added danger of a large branch fall. The pictures entitled 'unidentified tree 1' and 'unidentified tree 2' should show this over-hang. The trunk will be kept in-situ for aesthetic purposes and to strengthen the border. Trunk diameter is approximately 40cm (16"). T2 is a mature apple tree with large limbs being already dead. Lopping the dead areas off should allow the remainder to thrive, whilst at the same time eliminate the possibility of large pieces of limb or branch falling onto the adjacent property and causing damage.In both cases I have consulted an Arborist to ensure the work is practical. The Arborist confirmed that a planning application would need to be approved before he can start work.

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.
