The process from here
This application is with Calderdale 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.

Warley House Stock Lane Warley Halifax Calderdale HX2 7RU
T1 & T2 - Sycamore: Crown lift to provide approximately 5 metres clearance above ground level. T3 & T4 - Sycamore: Pollard to approximately 10-12 metres. The tree has not previously been pollarded. Works are proposed to establish and maintain the crown at a manageable height and reduce foreseeable risk from falling branches to members of the public using the garden areas. T5 - Ash: Severe Ash Dieback with significant crown decline and extensive dead and dying upper growth. Fell to ground level due to the deteriorating condition and foreseeable risk of branch and/or stem failure. The tree is close to existing structures and the area proposed for construction of a new outbuilding. T6 - Ash: Completely dead tree with extensive deadwood and a deteriorating structure. Fell to ground level due to the foreseeable risk of branch and/or stem failure. The tree is close to existing structures and the area proposed for construction of a new outbuilding. T7 - Sycamore: Mature Sycamore currently in reasonable physiological and structural condition, with no significant immediate safety defects identified. Fell to ground level to facilitate construction of the proposed new outbuilding and provide the necessary space for the building, access and working area. Retention of the tree would significantly constrain the proposed layout.
