Planning application

2025/2471/TCA

54 Gillinggate Kendal LA9 4JB

Granted Westmorland and Furness Tree in Conservation Area

Proposal

Japanese Maple (T1) in rear garden – lift and thin crown to improve light and maintain form, removing one main limb and a side branch (paint-marked) with selective internal thinning; height unchanged. Magnolia (T2) in front garden – reduce limb overhanging neighbouring property while retaining balance, with minor crown thinning. Updated request - (i) T1 Japanese maple (rear of the property) - reduce the crown by a third to just below the level of the phone line for No. 52 Gillinggate, which is currently being impinged upon by foliage. (ii) T2 Magnolia (front of the property) - trim back any small branches overhanging the vehicle parking spaces on Gillinggate, since these are (on occasion) damaged by delivery vehicles.

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.
