   Decision issued: Prior Approval Not Required

4. 2 Sep 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.

Prior approval applications arise where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, such as larger home extensions, changes of use to housing or agricultural buildings. The council may only consider the specific matters set out in the rules, for example transport, flooding or appearance, and in many classes the work may proceed if the council does not respond within the deadline, commonly 56 days.

  T1 European lime Tilia x europaea T1 is a mature lime tree that is growing within close proximity of the neighbouring building (within 1m) due to its size limbs are becoming heavily weighted and more likely to fail. Also large amounts of deadwood and debris regularly fall of the roof. T1 is growing very close to a mature beech tree and starting to affect the shape of the beech tree. I would like to reduce T1 by 20% in order to match the final height of the beech tree adjacent. this will keep the tree safe next to building by removing weight from weighted branches. and keep the aesthetics of the trees growing as one canopy. I would also like to remove the lowest primary overhanging the neighbours roof. T2 Beech Fagus sylvatica T2 is a mature beech tree growing within close proximity of beech lodge and the neighbouring property. I would like to reduce t2 by 30% and reshape as marked it pic 1. this will remove risk from heavily weighted branches failing, and reduce the amount the tree catches the wind in a built up area. reducing the risk of the tree while keeping the tree for the aesthetics of the road. this should be maintained every 5 years on a cyclical basis
