   Decision issued: Consent given on work to Tree apps

3. 19 Aug 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 and T2 - Sycamores - Either side of sewage drain - roots have caused blockages on several occasions, and removal of the trees is the only way to properly repair drainage system, please see report attached. Remove both trees This work proceeding has been delayed considerably due to back and forth with insurance company. It is now a long time since drains were last cleared and client is anxious of another blockage and the chaos that causes. Appreciate this is not a five day notice works, but if anything can be done to reduce the usual 6 week notice, that would be much appreciated
