What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Herefordshire, County of 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.

    Oak tree (T1) - Advised reduction pruning to reduce domination of Bulls Head Cottage (adjacent property), and to restore a more balancedcrown. Works to include: removal of two bottom limbs over Bulls Head Cottage; reduction of south, west and east sides by 4m.; reduction of height by 4m. Concerned that the unbalanced shape of the tree could lead to it falling, or shedding heavy limbs causing serious damage to Bulls Head Cottage building and occupants; also a footpath used by members of the public passes directly beneath the tree canopy and thisconstitutes another cause for our concern of safety of others.
