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.

Slades Paddock Main Street East Coker Yeovil Somerset BA22 9JY
Notification of intent to Fell No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T1 Lawson Cypress to remove to ground level.. The tree has been reduced several times in the past but the root plate is now starting to outgrow its situation and will start to affect the building in the near future. Therefore as there are no long term prospects for the tree, I believe it is time for its removal.
