   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 10 November 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Cambridge took a median of 53 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Cambridge for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Cambridge decided condition discharge and variation applications in a median of 51 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

This application deals with conditions on an existing permission, supplying the details a condition requires or asking to vary or remove one, without reopening the permission itself. More in our guide to planning application types.

  A1 - Wild service tree, Remove. Replace with a Lime tree. Reasons: likely future damage to the tall boundary brick wall (direct and indirect damage, due to root flare and stem growth), based on their significant growth potential if left to continue to grow without management, inappropriate location in relation to other adjacent built elements, crown reduction work considered inappropriate as a form of long term management and greater light availability to the adjacent Mulberry tree.

  T1 - Holm Oak, remove. Replace with 3 Lime trees. Reasons: current and increasing future suppression of the pollarded Lime trees, inappropriate location in relation to adjacent built elements, and crown reduction work is considered inappropriate as a form of long term management. T2 - False Acacia, Remove. Replace with 1 Lime tree. Reasons: poor structural condition and current and likely damage to the tall boundary brick wall, a historic feature at the site. G1 - 3 x Lime trees, repollard back to just above their historic points at approx.6m above ground level. Reasons: adheres to the character and appearance of the more mature Lime trees within the Masters Garden along it's eastern edge, likely future damage to the tall boundary brick wall (direct and indirect damage, due to root flare and stem growth), based on their significant growth potential if left to continue to grow without management, inappropriate location in relation to other adjacent built elements, crown reduction work considered inappropriate as a form of long term management and greater light availability to the adjacent Mulberry tree.
