   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 13 October 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   South Cambridgeshire took a median of 58 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

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.

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.

  T1 Norway Spruce, approx 25 years old, 12 metres high - 1 on plan. Fell as this tree is impeding access to northern churchyard and there is a risk of this tree falling onto the adjacent Church Cottage, less than 5 metres away to the north. The churchyard soil is a shallow gravel - not like the surrounding clay - and a mature ash on the eastern churchyard boundary fell in a gale about 10 years ago, narrowly missing the east end of the church. The southern part of the churchyard is full, and burials now take place on the northern side - access is needed by mini diggers for grave digging. T2 Birch, approx 10 years old, self-sown, approx 6 metres high. Fell because this tree is impeding access to the northern churchyard and is damaging adjacent gravestone. T3 Pollard ash, at least 200 years old, Last pollarded approx 20 years ago. Trunk is splitting apart and has been wired up, but pollarding would reduce pressure. Propose to pollard back to existing stubs approx 5 metres above ground. Willing to plant one replacement tree - Ilex aquifolium - on northern boundary, adjacent to gate to Rectory Lane.
