The process from here
This application is with Sefton 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 full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

We would like to remove 4 young sycamore tree adjacent to the road in order to plant a native hedge between the road and woodland. Removing the trees and accompanying ivy in the canopy will allow more light to get to the hedging. A mixture of hawthorn, dog rose and Blackthorn will be planted, providing food for wildlife and eventually nesting opportunities. Trees will be removed after the nesting season. Please see plan of tree locations and photos of trees.
