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

141 LEE PARK, LONDON, SE3 9HE
T1 - Ash - 7-8m Crown Spread 11-12 meters in height , tree is showing signs of die back and is currently over hanging garages/gardens at rear, tree needs to be pollard to reduce weight and risk of snapping out. Please see pruning points attached. T2 (height approx 8meter) - T3 (height approx 7-8 meters) | 3-4m Crown Spread Both of these ash trees have bracket fungus growing on them and do not look healthy, they are growing next to a seated bbq area , the customer is worried about the health of the trees especially sitting under them, we are going to pollard them instead of felling both trees as this will significantly reduce the risk of any taller branches snapping out on the seated area or children playing in the garden.
