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.

    P242414/K Submitted 17 Sep 2024 129m away

    Consent was given on 2 July 2024 (Application: 241416) to reduce the height of two trees within our garden. Upon return to assess fullythe works needed, the tree surgeon has advised that the Wild Cherry (Number 2 on the sketch plan) has deteriorated over the past months - there is a conjoined stem and branches have thinned considerably. As the tree is very close (approx. 8 feet) to the garage he feels it is adanger to that building. It is his opinion that removal would be the best option. I would like, therefore, to apply to change from height reduction of the Wild Cherry to removal. The Japanese Maple will be reduced as per the original application.

    Atlas Cedar - the tree is positioned in the area of more recent graves and has a high target occupancy. Due to historic limb failures the trees crown is out of balance with large limbs overextended, reduce the overextended limbs by removing 2-3 metres of growth to a suitable growth point, remove major deadwood and limbs with hazard prone characteristics, thin canopy by approximately 10% to reduce sailarea and minimise risk of future limb loss.
