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.

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.
