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.

T1 Poplar: Carry out a controlled and proportionate reduction of regrowth arising from established historic pollard points. Works to comprise: Reduction of all secondary regrowth to leave approximately 2 to 3 metres of extension growth from the existing pollard heads Retention of the full historic pollard framework and all primary structural limbs Selective thinning of congested regrowth where necessary to maintain an even and stable crown structure Removal of dead, dying, damaged or crossing branches where present All pruning cuts to be undertaken to suitable growth points in strict accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations, avoiding the creation of large diameter wounds and preserving the integrity of the existing pollard heads. No cutting back to, or beyond, the established pollard points is proposed. Arboricultural Justification The subject tree exhibits clear evidence of historic pollarding, with established pollard heads and cyclical regrowth typical of managed Poplar species. The proposed works represent: Routine cyclical management of a previously pollarded tree A measured and sustainable reduction consistent with accepted arboricultural practice A necessary intervention to prevent excessive extension growth, reduce end weight, and maintain structural integrity The specification has been carefully limited to ensure: No over pruning or structural harm Preservation of long term tree health and vitality Retention of amenity value within the Conservation Area Avoidance of large pruning wounds which could accelerate decay Constraints and Limitations: Works will not involve cutting to boundary lines where this would require excessive or indiscriminate pruning Works will not exceed 30 percent of recent regrowth Works will not alter the fundamental structure, height or character of the tree Any more severe reduction, including cutting back to or beyond pollard points or to boundary limits, would: Be contrary to BS3998 best practice Introduce a high risk
