What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Brighton and Hove 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.

33 Roundhill Crescent Brighton BN2 3FQ
Rear garden: T1 - American Elm Crown reduce and shape by approx. 3m Remove low limbs overhanging neighbouring garden to lift lower canopy by approx. 2m Crown lift on opposing garden at no.33 to balance lower canopy. Remove all Ivy to ground level Reason for work: The crown lacks the vitality commonly expected from an Elm of this size. The broad crown heavily overhangs the neighbouring garden to the south at no. 31. The tree owner is concerned about the safety of the tree. She would prefer to keep the tree but is aware she has a duty of care for her neighbours' safety and the protection of their property. To alleviate these concerns and also improve excessive shade to adjacent gardens, the above work has been proposed.
