The process from here
This application is with Hammersmith and Fulham 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.

The plants to be removed, largely due to overcrowding, are in fact shrubs, not trees, although they are quite mature and seem large. Please see plans attached. The only Tree is the Magnolia, which we propose to keep. There is one unidentified tree/shrub leaning against the end of the garden shed, which could be a tree, it is precarious and causing harm to the structure anyway (we want to remove this shed in any case)
