   Decision issued: Granted Permission

3. 26 Jul 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

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.

Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

  9 Cricklade Road Highworth Swindon SN6 7BW

  Works to Trees Within Conservation Area. T1- LIME, COMMON (Tilia x europaea) The mature lime tree located along the property boundary has begun to cause structural issues, including visible subsidence and displacement of the boundary wall. Its proximity to the client?s property and associated structures presents an increasing risk of further damage if the tree is retained. While the tree forms part of a row of lime trees and contributes to the local landscape character, the client?s priority is the long-term stability and safety of their property and the surrounding built elements. Given the ongoing structural impact and the potential for progressive deterioration, removal is being sought as a preventative measure to avoid further damage. If consent is granted, the tree will be dismantled using appropriate arboricultural rigging techniques to ensure a controlled, safe, and professional removal with minimal impact on the surrounding area.
