Planning application
23/1823/TPO
23 Stewart Close Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0LU
Proposal
The following two trees (T1&2) come under TPO285: 1. Lime (T1) - Complete tree removal as we have been advised by an arborist that it is dying and rotten inside and is at risk of falling which would cause substantial damage to surrounding houses, properties and vehicles. No proposal to replant as it would be too close to neighbouring T2. 2. Large Sycamore (T2) - 3m crown reduction and crown lifting (as advised by arborist), to allow for more light into garden, prevent lower branches obstructing drive and to prevent branches contacting house and garage Unknown if the following have TPO's on them: 3. Smaller sycamore (T3) - Complete tree removal to allow for more light into garden and prevent branches from contacting house and garage. Tree appears diseased. No plans to replant due to close proximity to other trees in garden. 4. Smaller sycamore (T4) - 3m crown reduction and crown lifting (as advised by arborist) to allow for more light into garden.

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.
