The process from here
This application is with Hertsmere 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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

T1 - Norway Maple Height - 18m Average crown spread - 5m Proposed Works: Reduce the tree by 0.5m to leave final height of 17.5m and spread of 4.5m. All works undertaken in accordance with BS3998 guidelines. T2 - Norway Maple Height - 19m Average crown spread - 5m Proposed Works: Reduce the tree by 0.5m to leave a final height of 18.5m and a spread of 4.5m. All works undertaken in accordance with BS3998 guidelines. Reason for proposed works: T1 and T2 are located on the northern boundary, approximately 5m from the neighbouring property and are considered to be a contributing factor to the shading of windows. A crown reduction of up to 0.5, will provide a modest improvement in light penetration while retaining the principal framework of both crowns and minimising the wounding required.
