What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with South Downs National Park 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.

The Old Rectory High Street Buriton Petersfield Hampshire GU31 5RX
100% historically approved · decision due ~25 Aug
Reduce the Horse Chestnut by up to 2m to suitable growth points on the East side. Raise any remaining branches to 6m from ground level. This work is to reduce the amount of silt build up in the pond that this tree heavily overhangs. This should improve the water quaility for the pond and wildlife. This will also help to rebalance the tree and reduce the substantial wieght on this side of the tree which reduces the likelihood of failure. the trees current dimentions are 12m wide and 18m tall. The new dimentions will be 10m wide and 18m tall.
