The process from here
The council has decided this application; the published outcome sits in the record above and the decision notice on the council portal carries the detail, including any conditions.

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.

1 Kentsford Cottages Kentsford Road Grange-Over-Sands LA11 7BB
A mature ash tree at the rear of the garden has been diagnosed with early-stage Ash Dieback. Minor branch loss has occurred during high winds, raising concerns about safety due to its elevated position. Permission is sought to reduce the crown to mitigate risk while retaining the tree where possible. If removal becomes necessary, a suitable replacement tree will be planted. Updated works, clarified over email. "Firstly, I wish to confirm that we do not want to fell the tree. We are requesting permission to reduce the size of the tree's crown with a maximum reduction of up to 1.5 metres all round"
