Planning application

Paynes Farm Field Road Kingston Cambridgeshire CB23 2NQ
Proposal
Silver birches x 2 - Reduce the height of the crown on both trees to between 10m and 12m. Note - both silver birch have grown so high that branches have started to break off in high winds posing a threat to life and neighbouring buildings. The trees are situated just inside our boundary and the smaller tree is about 4 metres from our neighbour's converted barn and the larger one about 5 metres from our neighbours barn.
As published by the council, reference 26/0676/TTCA

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.
