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.

1 Heol-y-pavin Llandaff Cardiff CF5 2EG
Removal of 2 trees. 1 x Beech (we think its a common Beech) 1 x Purging Buckthorn (we think it's this species). The Beech is hard against an old historic wall in Llandaff Village. Currently the tree height is low and the trunk is small. But we believe Beech can grow up to 40 meters and have a trunk diameter of up to 1.5 meters. This tree when fully grown would almost certainly damage the historic wall and possible a drain/manhole/sewerage pipes which are within 2 meters. Additionally, the tree would be far too large for the small cottage garden that exists. Our proposal would be to remove this tree and plant another away from the wall and of a size that is proportionate to the small cottage garden. The other tree is also hard against the same wall and an outbuilding which is causing damage. Its current position means it can't be easily seen. Its also overgrown with Ivy, dead in parts and possibly dying as a tree. We are proposing to remove this tree and plant another in a location where it can be seen, where there is better light and where it can't damage property.
