Planning history
Planning history at 3 Aran Mews is exclusively tree-management applications — typical for a property with mature trees on or near the plot.
- Sept 2025Tree WorksTreesIn report
T1-T4 - Empress trees - Fell to ground level and replace with four ornamental trees. T5 - Unknown Species - Tree is dead and will be felled to ground level leaving a small stump (6-10 inches). Please note that this work will take place at night, subject to a possession order from Network Rail. Reason for works: Letter received from Network Rail instructing applicant to carry out tree works - have attached letter to application. Trees are encroaching on Network Rail land and are in an unsuitable location. During a call with Paul Reville, Construction Manager in the Asset Protection Team at Network Rail, he stated that the trees have impacted the wall and the possible liability if that comes down is "monumental". Even if the trees are reduced, they would need to be maintained every 2-3 years under further possession orders, and this would put an unreasonable financial burden on the residents which are already stressed with the current situation.
