   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 20 October 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Dorset took a median of 37 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Dorset 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.

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.

• The Old Rectory Green Lane Ashmore Dorset SP5 5AG

  P/TRC/2023/01107 Submitted 23 Feb 2023 163m away

  T1 - Cedar of Lebanon - Reduce the lateral spread of the lower and mid-crown branches on three sides by the following amounts: East - 1.0 metres, South - 2.0 metres, West - 1.5 metres. To attain a natural and flowing branch tracery, the pruning back of some peripheral branches may slightly exceed the above reduction distances so that pruning cuts can be taken back to suitable nodes (drop crotching). Existing branch tips that do not exceed the finished lateral spread are not to be pruned. The crown reduction aims to retain the tree’s current form (rounded to conical - refer to annotated photo N). Remove the low, failed branch (dog-legged stub) on the south-west side back to the union. T2 - Cedar of Lebanon - Proposed works to this tree requires no pruning, just non-invasive flexible bracing (therefore a S211 notice is not required).
