The process from here
This application is with Croydon 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.

4 Pond Close Kenley CR8 5FG
Ash tree (Fraximus excelsion). Most branches are dead and the rest of it is dying. Located close to outbuilding in my garden and the neighbour's shed. I am concerned the tree may fall imminently. Needs urgent action - fell/remove tree. There are many other trees close to this Ash tree and another younger growing tree within 1meter so no need to replant.

4 Pond Close Kenley CR8 5FG
The tree needs to be felled because its main branches are dead and more parts of the tree are dying and may fall on top of existing out building in the neighbour's garden. It is an oak tree.
