   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 31 August 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Maldon took a median of 90 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Maldon for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Maldon decided tree works applications in a median of 57 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

Applications for works to trees cover protected trees: consent under a tree preservation order, or six weeks notice for trees in a conservation area. More in our guide to planning application types.
