The process from here
This application is with Hounslow 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.

On behalf of my neighbours (who have asked me to submit the application) we seek to have the tree 'tidied up' as it has not been 'maintained' or lobbed like other trees in the area in the past 20 years. Currently, because of it's awkward and unmaintained shape we are concerned that it could fall / cause damage in any of the storms that occur. The tree is in close proximity to our properties (end of an 8m long garden) and with some maintenance to tidy the low-lying branches by a tree surgeon, it would prolong the life of the tree by giving it structural integrity. The tree also borders Borough Road, Isleworth with small / medium branches falling off onto footpaths / pedestrians during period of strong winds. As the tree is on private property, we assume that is the reason why it hasn't been maintained like the other trees in the area by the local authority. The plan with a designated tree s... read more
