Thanks everyone for all your comments ..it’s so stressful the whole planning system and after all your comments I called the tree officer up as suggested and had a chat… it was way easier than I thought… he said all I have to do is amend the build bringing it a further 2 metres from the boundary then he will pass it … this was NOT stated in the refusal … so now I will appeal and wait again ! I don’t get why they couldn’t have just asked us to do this before the decision was made it would have saved the council more work surely ? Anyway hopefully it it won’t take to long …thanks again everyone x

Hi everyone ! I have a large plot with a small bungalow on it. i have just been refused on my planning for one reason only .. I proposed to rebuild the bungalow in to a 4 double bedroom house along with 2 new houses the same size also on the plot . Everything was accepted including sizes or houses positions parking road access etc all the points I though I may have problems with … the one point it fails on was that’s the land all around my plot is all trees all with TPO (not green belt )as we are not overlooked at all from other houses … we have no TPO trees on out plot at all and the new build are more than enough away from the boundaries ! We do not need to cut any of the trees back or remove any at all .My architect said it’s unbelievable and this should not stop the build ! Any ideas for our appeal ? We are going to move then a few more metres away from the boundaries as there enough room but any help would be appreciated . Thank you
