What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with North 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 this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that North Norfolk is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.
Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

Homefield Norwich Road Edgefield Melton Constable Norfolk NR24 2RL
T1- Conifer, fell and remove stump. Owner would like it "topped" due to the height. The tree is too large to reduce it and make a significant impact using correct methods. T2- Conifer- dead fell and remove stump. T3- Possible purple leaf plumb. Pollard tree back to points previously cut. T4- Magnolia, pollard back to points where previously cut. Crown lift by removing the bottom two branches. T5- Holy, fell and remove stump. Tree has been allowed to grow far too close to the house; it now rests on the roof and is causing issues to the building. T6- Unknown, same location as the holly. Most likely responsible for the issues the owner has indoors. T7/8- Holly planted as a hedgerow. Both now are out of line and stick out into the shared drive.
