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.

    15 Evergreen Way Wokingham RG41 4BX

    APPLICATION FOR WORKS TO PROTECTED TREES TPO 16/1973 Area 12 G6 Our first preference is to replace all the trees (T1 - T7) based on your guidance in terms of quantity and type of the trees. T1 is almost uprooted, it poses major risk for my family as well as the garden. You can easily see in the pictures I have uploaded that this tree is not healthy anymore. T2 is extremely close to fence with 4 Snowberry Close, eventually it will crack the fence. T3 to T7, total of 5 Cypress trees in an area of 10 square meters and due to close proximity to each other, maintaining the trees is very difficult. At least Crown lifting and crown reduction required for T3/4/5/6/7. ---------------------------- 1-Remove the almost uprooted Cypress Tree. The Cypress tree seems to be tied with an elastic rope to avoid falling. The rope is ruptured and the cypress tree is leaning towards the garden. It is partially uprooted as can be seen in the pictures. It poses danger to my family. 2. Crown reduction/Lifting – There are a total 4 trees in the north west corner of the garden, bordering the 17 Evergreen Way. There is less than 1m between each tree and this area is severely neglected and has never been reduced or lifted. Crown reduction and lifting would improve the quality of the trees. 3. Remove dead branches in lower level of trees to a height of 2 meters from ground level.
