What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Westminster 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 & T2- 2 x Veteran London Plane Trees - Pollarding The two veteran London Planes require cyclical pollarding in line with their historic management regime. Pollarding will involve reducing the canopy back by circa 2.5m, retaining the existing pollard framework. T3, T4, T5- 3 x Sycamore Trees - Crown Reduction and ivy removal. The Sycamores will be pruned back to suitable growth points and reduced in height by approximately 1.5m metre, 1m laterally. The reduction will be carried out evenly throughout the canopy to maintain natural form and structural integrity. T6, T7, T8, T9- 4 x Lime Trees- Pollarding The four Lime trees are to be pollarded to appropriate and sustainable growth points 1.5m overall.
