Planning application
26/01088/TREE
3 Rookery Close St Ives PE27 5FX
Proposal
T1 (Ash) - Laterally reduce lower canopy (up to 8m high) by 2m thin upper canopy over garden by 20%. Reason - This is a mature Ash tree and completely dominates the garden, causing heavy shade and leading to detritus from the tree and birds to fall into the garden. The tree has grown significantly since the house was bought.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Huntingdonshire 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.
