Planning application
2025/2504
Flat D, 180 Southgate Road, Hackney, London, N1 3HU
Proposal
T1: 9-12m tall sycamore in front garden. Propose routine maintenance: reduce back to previous points, removing up to 3m regrowth. T2: 9-12m tall sycamore in back garden. This is a self-seeded tree with poor form, leaning, suppressed by a much larger sycamore in #178's rear garden. It takes too much light and drops too many leaves as well as aphid mess. Propose to remove. Owner plans to replant other trees with smaller ultimate heights.

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.
