Planning application
26/0551/TTPO
Long Meadow Land North Of 61 Park Lane Histon Cambridgeshire
Proposal
T18: Horse Chestnut - Reduce 3 long lateral limbs by 3 metres. These are the large limbs which reach East, North, and South. T22: Horse Chestnut - Reduce the height of the tree by up to 7 metres, reduce 1 lateral limb reaching North East by up to 5 metres, reduce remaining lateral limbs by 2 - 2.5 metres. Reason for works: the safety of users of Park Lane and Long Meadow. Long Meadow is open to the public and the trees are close enough to fall onto the highway. Professional inspection has shown decay and splits in the trees.

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 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.
