   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 22 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Three Rivers took a median of 56 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

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.

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.

  T1: Reduce Poplar in rear garden by approx 5-6m all over to create a smaller, balanced crown and minimise the risk of failure at compressed union at base of tree. Reduction of the crown will lessen lever forces on the union as well as reduce the wind resistance created by the crown. The L/H limb is heavily weighted towards the public footpath and is long enough reach right across it .

  G1 & G2- there are 2 rows of mixed species trees, mainly Ash trees that are growing heavily over the rear garden. These are starting to form an archway over the garden not only closing the garden down and making the area dark but also covering solar panels making them work inefficient. We propose to cut back both rows of trees by 2.5-3m to open up the garden to retain current height and allow light onto the solar panels. The proposed lateral spread reduction would not affect the height of the trees and will leave the trees in a good state for regrowth. Ash trees are hardy trees so the minimal reduction of branches would not damage the trees. These trees cannot been seen from the road so would not damage the aesthetics of the area
