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.

A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

  T1 - ASh Fraxinus Excelsior This is a group of 5 small ash trees. They are self-seeded in the boundary hedge. They are growing over the property and starting to touch the roof. The crowns are looking sparse and showing signs of ash dieback. The car park is busy with people visiting residients and as the ash trees die they wll becombe dangerous. If one failed could cause injury or damage to properties. We would like to dismantle the trees to ground level and let the hedge grow in their place to keep the green aesthetics for both residents and neighbours.
