Proposal
I have attached the arboriculturalists report on the affected Horse Chestnut. In summary the large Horse Chestnut has a large hole in its base and it also is diseased. due to its proximity to the main road and the house and the lamp post the recommendation is that the tree be removed.

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