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.

    Doric House Tydehams Newbury RG14 6JT

    Oak: Removal of new growth. Pigeons fouling lawn and patio plus hedge maintenance. The oak tree is approximately 12 metres in height and approximately 8 metres in width when viewed from my property and looking northwards. I am asking permission to cut back the new growth, on the southerly side of the tree, which overhangs the boundary fence, by between 600mm and 900mm depending on individual twig growth and hedge back to the previous position. This action will not impact on either the height nor width profile of the tree when viewed looking north. Leylandii: Reduce new growth back to property boundary. Hedging work required to control growth and maintain shape

    Thirtover Place Ashmore Green Road Cold Ash Thatcham RG18 9JD

    The trees are a mix of Beech, Hawthorn, Holly, Norway Maple and oak. We would like to raise the crown to stop damage to the trees from vehicles. The trees are labelled T1-15 on the arboricultural plans over the main carpark and not numbered for the northern end of the site. We are looking at raising the crown for the trees along the road side of the site (east) to no more than 3.5 meters above ground level. We will not be felling any trees. Over the last 10 years we have planted over 100 small samplings and hedgerow saplings around the site and continue to plant more every year.
