Planning application
Chevin Mount Farnah Green Belper Derbyshire DE56 2UP
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Permission is requested to carry out work as follows: T1. Weeping Ash - To remove dead wood and tidy up the stragglers on the canopy. T2. Group of large Pine trees (I believe these are some of the trees specified in TPO468/22) - To clear the hangers from on the phone line, remove dead wood and to tidy up and create a good shape to all of the canopies using minimal cuts. T3. Horse chestnut - Raise the crown to 4m T4. Cherry - Raise the crown to 4m and take off 4m from the top canopy to reduce it in size while maintaining a good shape, using good pruning cuts. T5. Large chestnut tree - This tree is in poor condition. Permission was previously granted to dismantle it but the work was not carried out within the specified time frame. Permission is requested to fell the entire tree before it falls.

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.
