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.

An amendment application changes a permission that already exists. Non-material amendments cover small adjustments with no wider effect, while minor material amendments, usually made by varying a condition, allow modest design changes without a fresh application. Anything beyond that needs a new permission, so the scope here is deliberately narrow.

  T1- sycamore- pollard to 15ft to enhance the woodland setting in all areas of the garden. There are many trees in this area of woodland and therefore the pollarding this tree will allow the woodland setting to be seen from the upper part of the garden. The tree is also encroaching towards the house so this is a suitable management option. T2- oak- reduce lateral and horizontal limbs by up to 2 meters completed to BS 3998 to allow more light into the property's and stop the build up of debris on decking areas causing them to become slippery and dangerous when wet. This will also give a better shape to the tree as historical pruning has caused the tree to have longer limbs on one side.
