Planning application
The Rise Church Street Holloway Matlock Derbyshire DE4 5AY
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Common Yew tree, crown reduction or removal of the tree if it cannot be sufficiently reduced. Tree is approximately 6m wide and 10m tall. We want to reduce by 50% making it 3m wide and 5m tall. The tree is overhanging neighboring property and bloocking light to their windows. Neighbout has asked if we can cut it back so it does not overhang their property and thin it so it does not block light to their windows.

The process from here
This application is with Amber Valley for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
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.
