   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 25 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Chelmsford took a median of 55 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

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.

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Chelmsford is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

  All within W1 (ON TPO ORDER): T1 Ash - 3 - 3.5 m crown reduction not past previous pruning points - Remove two lower north-eastern lateral limbs. Reason: Tree leans towards the House and is not far from touching it. Reduce to give more light and clearance to the House. T2 Hawthorn - Fell. Reason: tree is very unwell. T3 (2x) Willows - Fell. Reason: trees have grown at 45 degrees angle to get light and are 2 tall straight stems, they hold no amenity value within in the woodland, fell to avoid future failure when they become too large at the angle they have grown and can not hold their own weight in the wet conditions within the woodland, as many trees in the same area have done in the past. T4 Ash - 2.5 - 3 m crown reduction, not past previous pruning points. Reason: to keep size under control for location, near to service cables and pole and also starting to hang over the boundary line to the neighbouring property.
