What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Tonbridge and Malling 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.

19 Carroll Gardens Larkfield Aylesford Kent ME20 6NQ
Sycamores T1 and T3, reduce both crowns by 25% on T1 and T3 and to lift the crowns on both to a height of 9m above the ground level. This is to reduce the amount of falling branches and leaves that keep falling into the garden, so the children cannot make use of the rear of the garden until this has been carried out. This will also increase the amount of natural light received into the garden by removing the current excessive shading, caused by the leafy branches. Any limbs with a diameter greater than 120mm will remain intact, to enable future regrowth. T2 has previously been felled.
