   Decision issued: Refusal

4. 12 Aug 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

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.

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.

  Oak (T1) - a crown reduction of up to 2 metres on the north-west aspect of the crown, in accordance with BS3998:2010, is planned. The tree has a single upward-growing stem that divides into two secondary stems supporting the crown. A stem has been historically damaged where the secondary stem attaches to the primary stem. Decay has developed downwards for an unknown length. This work will help offset increased wind exposure and the changes following the loss of a nearby tree's vitality and crown. The pruning will rebalance the crown, reduce wind resistance, and help maintain the tree?s stability and safe retention. Final Cuts Specification: All cuts should be back to suitable secondary growth points while maintaining a natural canopy shape. No branch should be shortened by more than a third of its length. Cut diameters should stay under 50 mm to avoid large wounds. VTA access is very limited; please contact the applicant if you wish to arrange access.
