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 full applications applications

How this application type works

A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

    T1-Beech: Crown lift to 5m and clear 2m from building (applicants property). T2-Crown lift over driveway and road to 5m. Lower branches from T1 are encroaching on applicants property. Lower branches from T2 are now fouling on cars on the driveway and taller vehicles using the road to access the properties. I suggest removing lower branches back to the stem on T1 to allow for sufficient clearance.
