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.

  (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.

  We have a Lebanon Cedar which has a diseased (I think it is leaf blight). Last year we had permission granted by you to take off some large affected branches. The condition has spread rapidly throughout the rest of the tree. This tree cannot be saved. We would like permission to have it taken down by a tree surgeon.
