16 High Green Great Shelford Cambridgeshire CB22 5EG
Proposal
T1: Holm Oak - We propose an approximate 2 meter sympathetic crown reduction to the northern crown only where necessary, with all cuts made to suitable growth points wherever practicable. The aim of this work is to sympathetically reduce the crown back from the adjacent driveway to suitable growth points, and to mitigate the deposit of leaf litter and pollen onto the parking area to the north of the tree. Removal of one (1) lower phototropic limb that is currently encroaching over the driveway.
As published by the council, reference 26/0554/TTCA

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.
