The process from here
This application is with North East Derbyshire 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.

Lodge Cottage 2 Somersall Lane Somersall S40 3LA
Somersall Lodge T1. Remove because it's too close to the house and the trepidation the owner has to put up with is not justified by its relatively low amenity value. Replant with one Red Maple (10-12) elsewhere in the garden. There is not really space to replant in the same position.
