My neighbour has just informed me that a tree that he’s wanted to fell for years is being chopped down on Wednesday.. It has a TPO and requires a planning application like all others..
But I didn’t receive notification of the planning app, and didn’t see a yellow app sign!??
looking online, councils have been given the authority to ‘relax the notification procedure’ until mid 2021 because of reduced staffing and restriction of movement..!

So if you have had any local applications in over the last couple of years that have been declined due to resident pressure keep an eye on the councils’ website - as that (and the local paper) are the only ways they legally have to inform you atm!
On the other hand - If you want a big extension - get your app in now!!
