Proposal
T1 Mature Purple Beech: Reduce the crown by approximately 3-4 metres or to nearest growing point in accordance with the specification and annotated photographs contained within the attached Arboricultural Report. Works to include reduction of the upper crown and selected lateral limbs to create a balanced crown form, reducing end-weight and wind loading while retaining the tree's natural shape and amenity value. T2 Sycamore: Fell to ground level due to advanced physiological decline and poor long-term retention potential. T3 Sycamore: Fell to ground level. Tree is dead and presents an unacceptable risk of failure. T4 Sycamore: Fell to ground level. Tree is dead and presents an unacceptable risk of failure.

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.

Higher Penwortham A59 Liverpool Road Junction With Cop Lane Higher Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0AD
Base station upgrade. The proposed upgrade consists of the replacement of existing 1no 17.5m monopole supporting 3no antennas, with 1no 20m monopole supporting 6no antennas, the removal of 8no cabinets, the installation of 3no cabinets, and ancillary development thereto. The positioning of the pole will be very slightly amended, moving approximately 10.9m east, along the same grass verge This option has been chosen as it utilises an existing installation which will improve coverage with minimal changes to the equipment, reducing the visual impact on the surrounding area as far as technically possible.
