Planning application

27 The Broadway Hatfield AL9 5HZ

Granted Welwyn Hatfield 6/2024/1450/TC TREES IN CONSERVATION AREA

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Fell a fir tree. It grows very tall but only on top half for quite few years now. This top half is pushing against the above walkway that people use to access the flats which has resulted in previous damage to the walkway. Due to physical health issues, this tree is also very hard for me to maintain

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

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.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
