Planning application
26/1828
1 Old St Andrews Mansions, Old Church Lane, London, NW9 8TB
Proposal
The tree is a mature Quercus robur (English Oak), approximately 70 ft in height with a canopy spread of around 40 ft. It is located on the rear boundary of 1 Old St Andrews Mansions, Old Church Lane, NW9 8TB, with branches extending directly over the three garages situated approximately 20 ft away. The proposed works consist of the complete removal (felling) of the oak tree, including cutting to ground level and removal of all arisings. The works are required due to structural damage caused by root activity, including significant cracking in the central garage, minor cracking in the adjoining garages, and displacement of the boundary fence located approximately 10 ft from the tree. No stump grinding is proposed at this stage unless required by Brent Council.

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