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.

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.

  Neither myself nor our neighbour can identify the species of tree as it is pretty much dead. We are both in agreement that the tree can be removed subject to the councils approval as it is damaging the fence and parts of the tree appear dead. They also have a lovely Laurel which we think will thrive once the tree is removed. There is only one tree to come down. I have spoken with Tom Hunnings from Penn Tree services and he advised that the best course of action would be to remove the branches and because of the health of the tree the whole tree to come down - it is pretty much on the border of the properties.

  T1 - Silver Birch - prune back to previous reduction points (2m to be taken off) to contain the spread and pre-empt limb shedding from old reduction points. T2 - Crab Apple - pollard at 2m due to multiple cavities in order to prevent limb failure as 2 or 3 of the main stems have died off already, this is an attempt to save the tree as it is falling apart and cannot support the structure.
