Planning application
50 High Street Milton Cambridgeshire CB24 6DF
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Acer Platanoides 'Crimson King' - Undertaking a crown reduction by removing up to 1.5 metres using the drop crotch method. Thin crown by 10%. And remove the two lower, short woody stems over neighbours side. (These have been cut previously without leaving suitable growth points so are covered in bushy 'leggy' growth) Betula Pendula - Reduce overhanging branches on neighbours side (north) by approximately 1.5 metres using the drop crotch method, selecting suitable growth points and maintaining the trees natural appearance. We will achieve this by making cuts no larger than 50mm in diameter.

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.
