Planning application documents: what to read first
Understand planning application documents, officer reports and decision notices. Use a reading checklist, document table and worked example to inspect a case.
Application overview
REAR: ONE Leyland Cypress (T1)(ht.8m)(crown spread 3.0m) FELL. Reason: neighbouring tree, causing light deprivation, close to fencing, low amenity value. Informative A: the tree does not appear to be causing a significant issue with the fence or shade to neighbouring rear garden no.2 Harefield Rd - cutting back foliage on green wood which overhangs the boundary may be sufficient to address the neighbour issue. Informative B: consent from the tree owner is required before any work on the tree owners side of the boundary is carried out. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
