Planning application
DC/26/03155
3 King William Street Needham Market Ipswich Suffolk IP6 8AD
Proposal
Application for works to trees in a Conservation Area - Robinia. The tree was pruned by approximately one-third two and a half years ago but has grown considerably since then and overhangs both our garden and the street outside. It also overhangs several telephone wires. We would like to do another similar reduction of one-third of the tree before it grows too much more.
As published by the council, reference DC/26/03155

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Babergh 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.
