Planning application

TREE2021/00141

53-54 Mill Lane Carshalton SM5 2JS

Granted Sutton Work to Trees within a Conservation Area

Proposal

Chestnut, Castanea sativa - removal of lower branches. The tree is labelled (1) on the map. Proposed work is to remove some lower branches (labelled (2) and (3) on the attached images. Removal of these branches will allow additional, but still not complete sunlight into the back of the garden, which at the time, due to excessive shading is causing the area to be unsuitable for planting.

As published by the council, reference TREE2021/00141

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.
