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 lawful development applications

How this application type works

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

    1 College Road London Southwark SE21 7BQ

    Works to tree with a TCA: T1-Eucalyptus Very large tree with a full and wide spreading canopy. Historic wound at trunk base approx 1m high and 50cm wide with exposed heartwood. Tree leans to the South West slightly. Previously crown reduced with dense and extensive re-growth. Suggested works are to reduce crown back to previous points by approximately 3-4m from branch tips in height and 2-3 from branch tips laterally. Thin out by 20% to improve light and airflow, removing selected secondary branches to open the canopy up a bit more and provide less roosting spots for pigeons. The reasons for these works are to reduce the weight and wind sail effect given the defect at base and close proximity to the house.
