What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Ashford 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 this record

Reading the register

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Ashford is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

    T1, T2, T3 - Silver Birch Trees - Fell make it very awkward to get out of vehicle and trailers on to and off our driveway without causing significant inconvenience to other road users. T4, T5 - Ash trees - Fell - they are showing significant signs of Ash Die Back. They are growing through overhead cables. Should these trees come down in the wind due to their condition they would cause significant disruption to neighbouring properties utility supplies. Also very close to the carriageway and therefore they would put members of the public at danger if they came down. We propose to replant 3 English Oak and 2 Ash Trees within our 2.5 acre garden.
