Proposal

THIS APPLICATION REFERS TO 2 TREES POSSIBLY MAPLE OR SYCAMORE, THE REASON FOR THIS APPLICATION IS THAT THIS IS A CONSERVATION AREA. I WOULD LIKE THE TREES REMOVED COMPLETELY FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. THE TREES ARE AT THE END OF MY GARDEN, THE TRUNK ON ONE OF THE TREES IS PUSHING THROUGH MY BORDER FENCE PANEL WHICH NOW NEEDS REPLACING. THIS IS THE LARGEST OF THE TREES AND IS OVERHANGING 3 NEIGHBOURS GARDENS ON THE LEFT SIDE. ONE OF MY NEIGHBOURS IS ELDERLY AND CANNOT MANAGE THE LEAVES AND DEBRIS FROM THE TREE. THIS TREE ALSO SHADES NEIGHBOURS GARDENS TO BOTH SIDES.

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.
