Planning application
2026/1332/TCA
The Vicarage 29 Back Lane Northampton NN4 6BY
Proposal
T1: Holly - reduce lateral branches to give 2.0m clearance from the gable end of the house, T2: Tree of Heaven - reduce the lateral branches extending over the roof by approximately 4.0m to growing points. Do not reduce the height. Reasons - to reduce the risk of them failing and falling onto the new roof, T3: Sycamore - fell to ground level. Reasons - the tree is dead, T4: Twin stemmed Lime tree - fell to ground level. Reasons - these stems are growing from an old stump. Most of the growth is growing over the neighboring garden as it is growing away from the adjacent trees, T5: Multi-Stemmed Lime tree - fell to ground level. Reasons - the stems are growing from an old stump. Most of the growth is over a neighboring garden, Lateral pruning of both T4 and T5 is not a viable option as it will result in vigorous and dense re-growth.

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.
