What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with West Berkshire 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 lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

24 Barbaras Meadow Tilehurst Reading RG31 6YF
T1 - Large Mature English Oak Tree: Crown has been suppressed with one side overhanging garden shed and school playing grounds. I would recommend crown reduction of 2m field side only to give clearance and reduce the risk of limb collapse. This would help reduce the crown also. Finally to remove any dead, dying wood and stumps; T2- Suppressed English Oak: This tree has a dying crown with extensive cavities at 1m and 3m from ground level. Due to its poor condition I would recommend section felling to ground level. Removing all arisings. Access to remove all arisngs via the school field would be best.

26 Barbaras Meadow Tilehurst Reading RG31 6YF
T1 - Large mature English Oak Tree: situated on the lawn behind Patio. This tree has an unbalanced crown, towards the rear of the property with very low limbs hanging over the neighbour's boundary. Also there is a cavity 3m from ground level. Due to the size and location I would recommend the upper house side crown to be reduced by approx. 2m to balance and lift up the lower limbs 4m for clearance over the garden. Finally to remove all dead and dying wood and stumps.
