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.

2/TPO/00205 - Two lime trees located out the front of the property that our client wants reduced. One of the trees has shed a branch onto neighbours property. We are looking to thin the trees and give a crown reduction up to 3m depending on pruning points and to manage a shape of both trees. The trees are full of epicormic growth and are covering the lients/neighbours garden. They want them reduced to keep on top of growth, manage the trees from having future limb failures, allow more light onto grass and give a balanced canopy. As you know lime trees are very fast growing so they want to keep on top of the trees as they are taking up all the space in the garden. I can see they have been done previously in the past

Parsonage Farm 36 Weasenham Road Great Massingham King's Lynn Norfolk PE32 2EY
Walnut tree planted by ourselves approx. 20 years ago - we want to 'uplift' the tree by removing the lowest 6 branches. The branches are significantly overhanging the kitchen roof of our house, rubbing against the flue to our Woodburner in our kitchen/diner and casting shade over our greenhouse making it impossible to grow anything.
