What a grant of permission means

The process from here

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.

About full applications applications

How this application type works

A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

    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.
