Planning application
Headless Cross Cark Road Cartmel GRANGE-OVER-SANDS LA11 7SF
Works: Trees
Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.
Proposal
We would like to fully remove the cherry tree in the attached picture. We're about the buy the house (Headless Cross) and will complete the works already started by current owner. When looking at the works with our builder, in terms of scheduling, we realised it would be very useful to remove the tree so as to create temporary access for vans/deliveries, with the longer-term view of having a gate in front of a one-car space leading up to the garden. Removing the tree will allow for more space in general, a nicer-looking garden once works completed, and more logical access. In the short-term, it will create a gap with views over to the field behind, but our plan is to enclose the garden fully with hedging - which we hope will look a lot more aesthetically pleasing than it does currently.

The process from here
The applicant withdrew this application before the council decided it, so it carries no planning weight and no fee refund is automatic. Withdrawal often follows officer feedback that a refusal was likely.
The applicant is free to submit a revised application at any time, and many withdrawn schemes return in amended form, so the site is worth watching if the proposal affected you.
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.
