What refusal means

The process from here

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

About householder applications

How this application type works

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.

    Tree 1 - conifer- to be removed as outgrown its position & causing an obstruction. Tree 2 - Crown reduction to approx 12 ft tall & 6 ft wide. Tree 3 - Crown reduction to approx 20ft tall x 10ft wide. There are currently brambles & ivy growing within which makes it look much denser & will be removed. Tree 4 - conifer - It will only be dead branches which will be removed which I realise permission is not required for. So no new picture. Tree 5 - the Pittosporum will require crown reduction. Unfortunately due to its current height & position it is difficult to estimate what the reduction will be to but is still likely approx 20 ft tall & 10ft wide. As can be seen there is a variegated ivy growing up it which will be be removed.
