Planning application
AT/2023/0008
Bascombe Court Bascombe Road Brixham TQ5 0JS
Proposal
The mixed broad-leafed woodland that the client manages has number of ash trees with all stages of ash dieback. The trees are very tall and near houses at the bottom of the woods. The best option would be to take out all the Ash trees leaving the other broad leaf species to strive. All procedures would be carried out to the BS3998 and dismantling would be done out of nesting season. Please see photo attached of works to be carried out.

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.
