What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Exmoor National Park 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.

25/02971/TCA Granted
North Coker Hall Main Street East Coker Yeovil Somerset BA22 9LA
Notification of intent to carry out tree surgery work to No. 1 London Plane tree within a Conservation Area. Reduction of south and south east quadrant and central apical portion by drop crotch pruning on tertiary branch scaffold where radial spread of outer canopy will be retrenched by approx. 3 metres from the outer branch tips. Shortening east lower quadrant by 2.5 metres to mitigate mechanical stress on overextended limb and gently ease conflict with adjacent magnolia solangiana. Pruning cuts will not exceed 60mm I diameter and in accordance with the 1/3rd rules. The overall reduction will decrease the sail factor and will shift the tree natural gravitational pull eastward toward lower occupancy zone. The tree has a hollow area with east side cavity where pool is present, although the ratio of residual wall thickness is still far greater than 1/3, however the reduction should be consider a multi stages retrenchment with a projected replication of reductions with 8-10 years interval to contain overall spread in long term.
