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.

  Remove 40ft ash tree - The ash tree is showing signs of basal decay and structural defects from previous poor pruning, raising concerns over its long-term stability. Its raised roots are also damaging and lifting garden pathways, creating an ongoing maintenance and trip hazard. Continued pruning would require significant ongoing expenditure, therefore removal is considered appropriate on arboricultural, safety and practical grounds
