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.

    Works to trees in a conservation area: Trees 1 & 2: Acer pseudoplatanus small self-seeded. Fell and grind out the stumps before they become mature and create excessive shade in the garden. Tree 3: Prunus sp. Self-seeded hard against the fence. Fell and remove the stump so the fence can be replaced and a new border created. Tree 4: Taxus baccata. Previoulsy coppiced. The tree is within the footprint of a proposed house extension, so needs to be removed. Please refer to planning applicaton 25/AP/2822. Tree 5: Taxus baccata. This yew tree has one overly long branch which extends beyond the general profile of the tree. The proposal is to reduce the length of this branch to create a more regular shape. Tree 6: Taxus baccata. The proposal is to prune this tree by up to 30% to train the tree into a more regular shape. Plant four trees including Acer tataricum, Cercis siliquastrum, Crateagus x persimilis, Cornus mas, minimum 2.5m height.
