The process from here
This application is with Nottingham 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.

The tree in question is no. T13 shown on the OS and Site Plan. The tree is a Contorted or Corkscrew Willow and it is just inside my front boundary. The tree regularly sheds branches and in the last two weeks when we had high winds it shed about 6; these branches are between 3 and 6cm diameter at the break and measure 3 to 5m long. The tree is so large now that there is a danger of the dropping branches falling into the street and the tree is so tall is is difficult for me to get to them when they break but have not yet fallen. Therefore I want permission for the crown reduction indicated on the accompanying drawings and photos. I have sought guidance from an arboriculturist who I gave the following brief to: 1. I don't want the tree to die. 2. I want to be able to manage its shedding of branches in a safe manner. 3. I want the tree to be reduced in volume so that the chances of breaking branches are less likely to land in the street. If permission is given, once the crown reduction is carried out, the top of the tree will be around 5m above my garden level; that's about 6m above the adjacent pavement.

T1. Front garden eucalyptus tree. The tree is in contact with the house, is also overhanging the vehicle on the drive and has grown to a height in excess of the house. It does not appear to have been maintained for some time. The request is to reduce the branch length by 2 metres away from the house to create clearance and prevent the tree contacting the house. The tree will remain 7 metres wide after the reduction. In addition, to reduce the branch length by 1 metre where the tree is overhanging the driveway and dropping material onto the vehicle parked there. The tree will remain 8 metres wide after the reduction. Finally a crown reduction of 3 metres to maintain a balanced shape and bring the tree height back down to just under the roofline of the property. It's hard to estimate the current height of the tree but it is in excess of the height of the 3 story house. T2. Back garden apple tree. The tree has gained significant height since the summer and has also increased in reach, overhanging the garage, restricting access to the planted borders and approaching the boundary with number 21 to the East and that property's garage. The request is to reduce branch length by 1 metre on the East, South and West sides to stop it approaching the boundary and overhanging the garage and to keep a balanced shape. The tree will remain 3.5 metres in diameter after the reduction. Additionally, a crown reduction of 1.5 metres to maintain a balanced shape and bring the tree back closer to its height at the start of the summer. The tree will remain 3m in height after this reduction.
