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 this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Nottingham 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.

32 Yalding Drive Nottingham Nottingham City NG8 2QA
Removal of 3 No. approx 5m height prunus species trees, which appear to have self seeded among a group of much larger (15-20m) TPO protected trees. These small trees are of poor quality, and are struggling for light and height. Within the attached photos, you can cleared see the distortion of stem growth as the trees struggle to find light. These smaller trees offer no value to the aesthetics of the garden, and if anything their removal would aid the health of the 3 No. larger TPO protected trees in the garden.
