About prior approval applications

How this application type works

Prior approval applications arise where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, such as larger home extensions, changes of use to housing or agricultural buildings. The council may only consider the specific matters set out in the rules, for example transport, flooding or appearance, and in many classes the work may proceed if the council does not respond within the deadline, commonly 56 days.

    Hyde End House Hyde End Lane Brimpton Reading RG7 4RJ

    Group of Portuguese Laurel - reduction of 50% from 6 metres to 3 metres from the top and from 7 metres to 4 metres in width, This is to keep this in a manageable state and all work will be carried out to suitable growth points. Group of Holly trees along the drive - remove entirely and replace with 3 x Horse Chestnut trees in the same place to continue the existing avenue along the driveway. There are two large dead hollys amongst this group and to make this safe and more manageable in the future a planting plan including three Horse Chestnuts planted in situ will make most sense.
