What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Chelmsford 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 full applications applications

How this application type works

A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

    Land West Of Paynes Lane And North Of Main Road Boreham Chelmsford Essex

    A1 - (T1 on map) Mature Ash- Located at the South-Eastern extent of TPO/2014/001, adjacent to a public footpath and fencing- Fell , the tree roots from the pipe and reinstate the headwall. A replacement tree (heavy standard pedunculate oak) will be planted in an open space within the existing tree group. Reason: This tree sits over an existing drainage pipe and headwall. The pipe runs in a general north to south direction and discharges into the historic lake on the opposite side of the B1137 Main Road. The roots and buttress of the tree has caused the headwall to collapse (Photo 1) and block the pipe with roots (Wincan Report). This has prevented the lake from filling, resulting in low water levels.
