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.

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Welwyn Hatfield is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

  Tree species: Silver Wattle Number used on sketch plan: T2 Description of works: Removal T2 Silver Wattle is located very close to a building, and has the potential to outgrow its citation very quickly. While this has been managed with cyclical pruning in the past, Silver Wattle are a vigorous species and prone to decay. Removal and replacement is recommended to avoid an intensive cyclical pruning regime, and reduce the future risk of damage to the nearby drains. Tree species: Cider Gum Number used on sketch plan: T7 Description of works: Removal T7 appears to have been windblown historically, ie the tree’s root system has partially failed. While it is reasonably stable now, the acute angle of stem lean and the vigorous nature of the species mean that cyclical pruning will be required to manage the canopy. Removal and replacement is recommended to avoid an intensive cyclical pruning regime, and reduce the risk of future rootplate failure. Tree species: Mock Orange Number used on sketch plan: T3 Descriptionof works: Removal Poor shape and form, and is a garden ornamental tree that we wish to be removed.

  Replacement hedgerows. The existing hedgerow was damaged on the left front side ("Hedgerow A") when hit by a falling tree. About half of Hedgerow A is a grown hedge, with a mix of what we believe to be wintergreen barberry, Japanese laurel, holly, and hornbeam. The other damaged half is a partially-grown mix of the same plants, plus weeds and other growth. Hedgerow B is a mix of wintergreen barberry, Japanese laurel, and hornbeam. Hedgerow C is hornbeam.
