   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.

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.

  (G1) - Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) removal because with support from tree survey completed by relevant expert the trees are in poor condition and also in poor structural condition. The trees have also obtained mechanical damage. Group 1 is also within very close proximity to the stone walling that runs around the perimeter of the property. Group 1 has also got a high risk of failure due to the lapsed regrowth from historic pollards. Group 1 is also positioned very close to a road with a high footfall due to it being very close to a primary school this therefore would mean that any failures could cause significant harm to people along with damaging the stone wall and vehicles parked below. Group 1 also has a significant number of basal cavity's. The customer has requested that permission for removal of group 1 is granted to allow them replant and establish a new row of trees. T1- Blue Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica Glauca) - prune back long over extended lateral branches by up to 3 meters (as recommended by tree survey) and clean crown of dead/snapped branches. pruning back of the long over extended branches would be a means of preventative management decreasing the risk of failure which will make the tree more aesthetic for a longer period of time. over extended branches have a higher risk of failure. T2- Holm Oak (Quercus ilex)- End weight pruning of canopy extents by upto 2 meters leaving a canopy radius of 9 meters as a means of preventative management against small diameter branch breakage as over extended branches have a higher risk of failure. this will also allow other trees and shrubs space to grow and will make the tree more aesthetically pleasing.
