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
A twisted willow, roughly 11 years old, needs to be removed in it's entirety to make way for outbuilding development in our garden. The tree sits between a shed and a log cabin. I'm not sure of the height but it looks about as tall as our house. The tree also causes a lack of sunlight in our neighbours garden during the summer months and is now too big for us to manage ourselves.
