What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Reading 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.

19 Marlborough Avenue Reading RG1 5JB
I am seeking permission to remove a large holm-oak tree in my back garden at 19 Marlborough Avenue. Also to remove a young Holly growing beside the holm-oak. It is a self-seeded tree, which has recently put on a spurt of growth after several years at a manageable size. Now itsdusty catkins fall into my own garden and into a shared footpath and also the garden of my neighbour at No. 17, where they are of particular concern because one member of the family has respiratory difficulties. It is also much too close to the houses for such a tall tree, and with its present abundant foliage it already darkens rooms upstairs and downstairs in my own house and my neighbour's.
