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

Treetops Marylebone Place Wigan WN1 2NS
T1-Beech: Crown lift to 5m and clear 2m from building (applicants property). T2-Crown lift over driveway and road to 5m. Lower branches from T1 are encroaching on applicants property. Lower branches from T2 are now fouling on cars on the driveway and taller vehicles using the road to access the properties. I suggest removing lower branches back to the stem on T1 to allow for sufficient clearance.
