Planning application

20230169

Beech Mount 1 Bircham Road Reepham NR10 4NG

Granted South Norfolk Works to trees in Conservation Area

Proposal

T1- This is a group of small beech trees, approximately 4-6 individual trees. These used to be kept as a hedge but haven't been cut recently, therefore have grown into small trees. As shown in the pictures, they have a lot of small branches overhanging the footpath. We'd like to cut all the branches from the ground up to 2.5 meters high back to the trunks. Conifer (T2) - We'd like to crown lift this tree by approximately 3 meters to allow more clearance over the path, road and garden. There are some other shrubs overhanging the path which will be cut down and completely removed, but these are small enough that they don't need to be included in this application.

As published by the council, reference 20230169

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.
