The process from here
This application is with Cherwell 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.

Craxton Castle End Castle Street Deddington OX15 0TE
T1 Common Horse Chestnut Tree The tree has been managed in the past with a reduction cycle every 3-4 years. This has kept the tree at a size suitable to its location, albeit a large specimen. I recommend a revisit of previous pruning by removal of 2-3m regrowth around the whole canopy. Removal of major deadwood. Climbing inspection of all major unions and report any findings. All final cuts to be made at suitable points of live growth, all resultant debris to be chipped and removed from site. Reason for recommended works To bring back into scale, Health & Safety and good arboricultural practice

29 North Street Banbury OX16 3LH
A crab apple tree situated within the small front garden. The tree has become overgrown and disproportionately large for the confined garden area, with a dense crown extending close to the house and over the front garden. Its size and position make the garden difficult to maintain and reduce light to the front elevation and adjoining windows. The proposal is to remove the tree and stump and restore the front garden
