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.

    T1 - Scots pine x 1 - reduce overlong lateral branches by around 1m, prune out broken and snagged second-order branches from the crown interior. As part of the works significant sized deadwood will be removed which is an exception under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) [England] Regulations 2012. Reasons: the tree is located in a small garden area which it has now outgrown. In conjunction with trees growing on open land behind it is now obstructing significant afternoon sunlight to the rear of the house and reducing light throughput to the ground below. The light restriction is now significant and preventing any other vegetation growth beneath the canopy spread and beyond.
