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.

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.

  The trees are located behind our boundary fence and the rear garden fences of neighbouring residents (see Photo TFT 10) and are not actively managed by any party. As shown in Photo TFT 1, these self-seeded trees are causing significant damage to our boundary fence and playground. Our grounds staff have confirmed that all the trees are self-setters. The trees present ongoing health and safety risks. Birds foul the playground daily, creating unhygienic conditions for children aged two, who regularly crawl and play on the surface. As a result, the site manager is required to jet-wash the area every day. Additionally, tree roots have caused the play surface to lift and split in multiple locations. A full playground replacement is scheduled for July at significant cost to the school. We cannot allow these issues to continue and compromise the new installation. The playground installer has confirmed that retaining the trees will result in further damage to the new surface. We therefore propose that the trees be cut back to ground level. Ownership of the trees is unclear; it is believed that when the school previously burnt down, the fence was not reinstated back-to-back with neighbouring properties, leaving an unmanaged strip of land where self-seeders have grown unchecked. Although the trees were cut back several years ago, they have since regrown aggressively and continue to damage the playground. On the next page, we have marked ourselves as the owner of the trees because ownership is unclear.
