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.

  64 Haytor Avenue Paignton TQ4 7TB

  Please consider this application as a '5 Day Notice - With intent to fell' Numerous fruiting bodies of the decay fungus Meripilus giganteus are present around the base of the tree, along with immature fruiting bodies of a Ganoderma species of wood decay fungus, indicating the likely established (and advancing) decay within the main structural roots and stem of the tree. The crown of the tree is displaying sub-optimal vitality and density, compared with the same parameters in the summer of 2024. We believe with the root system and stem being compromised, along with the crown being in leaf that there is a immediate danger of whole tree failure in the current strong wind conditions. Due to the close proximity of the surrounding properties, there is a potential for structural damage and loss of life. Hi-Line would also prefer to proceed with these works 'as soon as possible' due to the positioning of the tree. There is VERY limited work space for dismantling with no access for a crane. As the weather worsens, rigging down the tree and extracting it will only add considerable damage to the surrounding gardens and further expense to the home owner. Replacement tree (species) to be discussed with the homeowner.
