What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with South Cambridgeshire 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 householder applications
How this application type works
Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

6 Savile Way And Fowlmere Church Fowlmere Cambridgeshire SG8 7TU
T.1 Cherry - Fell to ground level and remove stump to facilitate a new landscape design scheme. The tree has outgrown the available space within the small rear garden and is now the dominant feature of the area. In conjunction with the surrounding mature Lime trees in the church, it contributes significantly to shading, reducing natural light levels to the garden and rear of the property. Removal of the Cherry tree will improve light penetration, enhance the usability of the garden space, and allow for the implementation of the proposed landscaping design. T.2 Yew - Reduce the lower lateral spread by up to 4 metres back to the boundary line. The tree is owned by Fowlmere Church - The lower canopy is causing excessive shading to the rear garden and interfering with the use of the children's play equipment. The proposed reduction will improve light levels, increase usable garden space, and provide suitable clearance from the boundary whilst retaining the tree. T.3 Lime - Reduce the lower lateral spread by up to 4 metres back to the boundary line. The tree is owned by Fowlmere Church. The lower canopy is causing excessive shading to the rear garden and interfering with the use of the children's play equipment. The proposed reduction will improve light levels, increase usable garden space, and provide suitable clearance from the boundary whilst retaining the tree.
