   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 22 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Somerset took a median of 43 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Somerset 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.

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.

  Application to Fell No. 2 Trees as shown within the South Somerset District Council (EACO 1) 1989 Tree Preservation Order. T6 (Thuja) and T9 (Spruce) - both over 15m tall. The trees are overgrown and interfering with T7. T6 & T9 are growing through the branches of T9. The three trees are over crowded and fighting for light. Felling T6 & T9 will help the longevity of T7. Tree surveyor Bryn Andrews has visited the site and commented T6 & T9 are interfering with T7and felling would be advised to protect T7.
