Planning application
2026/1717/TCA
Dene Cottage 2 The Grove Moulton NN3 7UF
Proposal
I am looking to fell and remove an Apple Tree in the centre of my garden as it is rotten and decayed and produces a glut of inedible fruit that is extremely difficult to manage in summer months, creating rotting and decaying fruit attracting vermin (especially as we live close to water).

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.
