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.

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.

  T1 and T2 Cypressus sp. - Reduce two cypresses at the driveway entrance by 2.5-3m. The trees have become too large for the space and the client would like to bring them to a more manageable size and formal shape. H1 - Chamaecyparis lawsonia - Lawson Cypress boundary hedge. Reduce by 2.5-3m. The hedge hasn't been maintained for a number of years and is blocking light to the rear of the property, reducing these will allow more light into the garden and achieve a more manageable height for the client moving forwards.
