What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Southwark 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.

Works to trees in a Conservation Area. To remove two trees within the Dulwich Village Conservation Area. 1x Sambucus sp. 1x Ilex aquilfolium. Please see the attached photos of the trees in question. Neither of these trees have been shown or categorised on the approved tree plans, and only one has been shown on the topo survey. 1x Sambucus sp. estimated dbh of <100mm and 1x Ilex aquilfolium estimated dbh of <200mm are requested to be removed on the eastern aspect of the existing building. Reason for this is the required forklift has proven to be too wide and would likely cause damage to both trees as well as the machine. KIND are aware the removal of these trees may require replacement. Neither of these trees have been shown or categorised on the approved tree plans.
