This application is with St. Helens for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year St. Helens decided tree works applications in a median of 54 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

Applications for works to trees cover protected trees: consent under a tree preservation order, or six weeks notice for trees in a conservation area. More in our guide to planning application types.
