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.

Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

  Chaddleworth House Tower Hill Chaddleworth Newbury RG20 7EB

  There is a Large Ash Tree with a 6 Ft long crack going from the root plate up the stem. The tree leans towards a nice old Oak Tree, we would like to monolith the Ash tree to 8-10M high to save the Oak tree and retain habitat in the Ash stem. Next to the Ash there is a Beech Tree with historic storm damage and a large cavity half way up the stem caused by the storm damage. We'd like to remove the top of the Beech to just above the cavity to stop it from failing help retain the main part of the tree and keep habitat (10m Monolith in essence - with some lateral growth to help keep it going)
