   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.

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.

  I have 4 large fir trees located on either side of my gate on Ruckamore Road, 3 on one side and one on the other side. For some years now the single tree has not appeared to be as healthy as the others, having lost a lot of its foliage. I understand, from neighbours that the tree is about 60 years old. Last week-end one of the trunks was blown down in the high winds. Fortunately, it fell in the road at such an angle that it did not damage any of the parked cars or injure anyone. Lucky too that it did not fall towards the house as it is tall enough to have come into contact with it. I have managed to cut up the wood that was blocking the pavement and moved it onto my drive prior to disposal. I am fearful that strong winds may cause this to happen again, maybe with more severe consequences, and would like your approval to have what remains of the tree taken down.
