   Decision issued: Consent given on work to Tree apps

4. 6 Sep 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.

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.

  T1: Lime . Re-pollard to historic wounds for the purpose of good management and more light into rear garden. The amount the Lime tree is being reduced by is approx 2-3m all over. We will also remove all growth that has occurred since the tree was pollarded last time ( not by us). This will leave the scaffold of the tree to regenerate I have supplied an annotated photo within the application to make this easier for you to see. The scaffold of the tree comprises of the thicker stems and what I am proposing to to is to remove all of the finer shoots.

  The client would like to have the large horse chestnut tree (T1 - on sketch plan) removed. This tree has been previously managed by a number of crown reductions to help make the tree more compact and reduce its encroachment on the garden and neighbouring gardens as there has been previous concern due to cracking of bark and appearance of dead wood. This tree has subsequently continued to decline, now presenting with a number of fungal fruiting bodies (see pictures 1, 2 & 3) this tree also presents flaking bark, deep fissures and cracks in the bark and large-scale loss of bark on the main upright stems and unions. The client has also noted bleeding from the tree and an almost non-appearance of conkers, and in addition that the leaves of the tree have been falling throughout the year from initial appearance of leaves which have spotted black rings on their surface. The client is concerned that the tree, or parts of the tree will fail, given the proximity of the tree to the property and to the neighbouring properties, and its very large relative size, it is highly likely that failure would result in serious damage to properties and potentially the occupants some of which are children who play in the neighbouring gardens. On the above basis the client would like the tree to be removed, to remove any risks of possible damage.
