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.

    It is proposed to remove three Beech trees (T1, T2 & T3 on sketch plan) from within the rear garden. Beech T1 has a large Ganoderma bracket on the eastern side of its stem. There is also a small bracket emerging from the south-eastern side of its stem (see photos). When advanced, Ganoderma can result in a tree's mechanical failure of its stem, base or root plate. Beech T1 therefore has a limited safe useful life expectancy. The proposed work will ensure the tree does not fail unexpectedly in the future. Beech T1 and Beech T2 have grown together as a pair. The removal of one tree (T1) will leave the other tree (T2) more exposed during strong winds. The remaining tree will also look unsightly and unbalanced (if left). Beech T3 is dead (exempt) To mitigate, one new standard-sized Beech tree will be planted as close as possible to T2.
