What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Three Rivers 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 this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Three Rivers is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.
Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

T1 on sketch plan - The tree is in the front garden of Bel-Air close to the boundary with Edgehill. On 26 August 2021 consemt was given by the local authority under reference LCS/21/1681/TPO to reduce the crown in height by 2 metres. This work was never done but consent is now requested due to considerable further growth of the tree. Furthermore the tree is becoming over extended and consent is requested to reduce the lateral spread by 1.5 metres to relieve the overall weight and stop the branches touching both the houses Bel-Air and Edgehill.
