About householder applications

Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden, such as extensions, lofts and outbuildings, and cannot create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. More in our guide to planning application types.

    5 Day Notice - Large Pine - A primary limb on the western side has split where it joins the main stem and will need removing completely. This broken limb is now sat on another primary limb below it and has caused a hazard beam within this limb but hopefully can be pruned back to a suitable growth point saving the bulk of this limb. We are hoping to undertake these works on 09.01.25. Please see photos.
