Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

TPO: 2/TPO/00358: Ash Tree (T1) - Removal due to disease of ash dieback, and limbs are snapping off close to a major highway and could cause damage to vehicles or walkers. Lime Tree (T2 & T3) - Remove due to proximity to the road and also for better vision for slow-moving farm vehicles turning onto the main highway for safety. Reducing all trees to ground level.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with King’s Lynn and West Norfolk 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.
