Planning application
2025/2186
19 Fremont Street, Hackney, London, E9 7NQ
Proposal
There are two self-seeded sycamore trees directly adjacent the property wall of the 19 Fremont Street property on Templecombe Road. The wall is constructed from brick and is in poor condition. The wall falls broadly along the property line, but it has been notched – the wall notch has been constructed around the trees, though the trees in fact fall within the property line of 19 Fremont Street. The trees are causing structural damage to the wall. The surveyor's report included with this application notes the damage to the rear wall: 'The wall is in poor condition due to the close proximity of a tree that has caused the movement. This area of the wall could collapse at any point and should be taken down and replaced.' (Heyes survey report page 18) We would like to fell the two trees, and grub out the stubs, to allow us to rebuild the wall along the property line. We propose planting a black mulberry tree in a similar location in our back garden to replace the sycamores. The sycamores are causing a nuisance, whereas the black mulberry offers more bio-diversity for the immediate area. We enclose a sketch plan showing the existing trees, and a sketch plan with our proposal for planting a new tree. Also enclosed is the title deed map showing the property line, and a survey report identifying the damage to the rear wall.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
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.
