Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 & T2 Willow (Salix spp.) RE-POLLARD: remove the snapped limb and reduce regrowth by 3 to 4m in height and 2 to 3m laterally, back to established pollard points, retaining the existing framework and balanced crowns. Reason: cyclical management following substantial regrowth and limb failure; to reduce end weight and risk of further failure while retaining amenity value. T3 Mimosa (Albizia julibrissin) CROWN REDUCE height by 2m to 8m and radial spread by 2m to 6m. Remove dead and declining branches and reshape to form a balanced crown. Reason: canopy decline, dieback, poor form and excessive end weight; to reduce loading on weakened limbs, improve structure and prolong useful life. T4 / TPO 43 T13 Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) CROWN REDUCE height by 2m to 10m and radial spread by 2m to 8m. CROWN LIFT over the adjacent highway to 5.5m above ground level. Reason: to maintain the tree at an appropriate size, improve light and highway clearance, reduce future management and retain a balanced, healthy crown. All works to BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations.

The process from here
This application is with Lambeth 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.
