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

2 Lanham Down Cottages Lanham Lane Winchester Hampshire SO22 5JS
There are a number of multi stem Beech trees around nine which are located in the rear gardens of no 1,2 and 3 Lanham Down cottages. The canopy overhangs into the garden of our neighbours in Pine Cottages and smothers their building with leaves and branches which are touching her roof. The roof is covered in an algae. The overhanging branches and leaves block out natural light from reaching the rear gardens and properties in Lanham Down Cottages. The middle terrace no 2's most rear room the lounge is completely dark on a sunny day which means excessive use of artificial light. The works would involve raising the canopy up approximately 6 meters along the rear of the 3 terraced properties. Hopefully this is deemed as the most sensible approach and creating the minimal amount of harm to the trees. Our neighbours in Pine Trees have stated that they will not object to the planning. The tree surgeon that would be carrying out the works is Colin Luff. (Amended)

Currawong George Eyston Drive Winchester Hampshire SO22 4PE
T1-T5 Beech - All 5 trees have extensive squirrel damage in upper limbs and branches. These are now posing a safety hazard to the owners & neighbours. Suggestion is to shorten damaged limbs and branches as appropriate to their lengths and amount of damage to reduce the risk of failure. Estimated reduction is maximum 3m but less if safe to do so & leaving decent growth points. 1 limb recently broke & fell into owners garden & the climbing inspection was undertaken & the damage was highlighted.
