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.

  T1 - Mature Ash 'Fraxineus excelsior' - Dismantle, fell & remove to ground level Remove all cut material from site & return to a Teign Trees depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean & tidy. Reasons for the proposed removal works; This is a mature Ash tree showing signs of ash dieback disease and its condition is likely to worsen over the summer months. Due to the tree position & further deterioration in the condition of the tree would make manual removal very difficult & potentially unsafe. The neighbouring trees are all showing signs of ash dieback, therefore we feel early removal is essential. Our client Mr Thompson is very keen to replant with X2 native English Oak Trees 'Quercus robur' in replacement. Both replacement trees will be of Heavy Standard size (12-14cm girth, 3.00-3.50 metres in height) & a full aftercare programme will be put in place to ensure the future health of the trees is maintained.
