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

There is only 1 tree at the front of my property a Magnolia Grandeflore and I need a whole crown reduction by 1m all around as it is taking as we are unable to walk underneath it to access our front door. I has not been cut for 3 years due to the TPO and problems with applications and it is not good for the tree to be uncared for My neighbours on both sides have complained that the tree is starting to overhang their properties and is taking the light from their properties I am aware that this is a very special tree and I have always looked after it very carefully and will continue to do so using the services of Wimbledon Tree Surgeons who have carried out the works on this tree for the past 20 years
