Proposal
T1: Ash – Pollard at approximately 5 metres from ground level to improve form and reduce risk of failure. T2: Sycamore – Crown lift to 5 metres on South (house) side by removing lowest branch of 250mm diameter. Also remove branch above of 75mm diameter and carry out peripheral crown reduction house side by 3 metres to re-shape the tree and reduce over dominance in relation to the property. T3: Ash – Reduce previously cut North stem by 1 metre to above lowest re-growth at approx. 7 metres height from base level. Reduce South Stem to 7 metres height to match North stem and to form high pollard. Remove damaged North West stem at base to enable re-growth and for structural reasons to address risk of failure, improve form and create a high pollard.

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.

2939/25/TPO Split decision
Little Aish Aish Stoke Gabriel TQ9 6PS
G001: Mature Ash trees - Remove 2 x Ash trees Both specimens are exhibiting signs of ash dieback disease (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus), assessed as Health Class 3 (see figure 2), with a retained leaf volume of between 25% and 50%. This condition is progressive, & it is unlikely the trees will recover in the long-term (see 4.4). The westernmost tree, being multi-stemmed with three dominant stems, is showing the greatest degree of infection and corresponding crown loss G004: Sycamore – 2 x trees. Dismantle & fell to near ground level and replant with x 2 Pedunculate oak trees Both trees are evidently in sever decline, with an extensive amount of ivy and Clematis vitalba throughout the canopy & main stem
