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.
