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.

Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

• AT/2024/0249 Granted

  26 Stoke Gabriel Road Brixham TQ5 0NQ

  3 x Norway Maples at the north boundary of the property require a reduction in height and spread. The work to be carried out is as per previous approved applications. The trees will be cut back by a professional tree surgeon to previous pruning points as recommended by the tree surgeon. Related works were approved in 2019 (AT/2019/0102) and in 2017 (AT/2017/0038). The reduction is required as the trees dominate the rear of the house, shade the garden and block the gutters with fallen leaves. In addition 1 x Sycamore on the southern boundary of the property and overhanging the road will be cut back to previous pruning points by a qualified tree surgeon. This work was also carried out and approved in 2017 (AT/2017/0161), 2014 (AT/2014/0025) and 2011 (AT/2011/0038). This will be carried out to reduce overhang on the highway and will provide more light to the neighbourhood.
