Planning application

Flat A, 97 Benthal Road, Hackney, London, N16 7AP

Granted Hackney 2026/0194 Works to a Tree in Conservation Area Notification

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

One of the two large sycamore trees on the boarder fence with my flat 95a (council) is oversized. There is another one next to it that has been trimmed last year also oversized but remaining. I request permission to fell one tree that is leaning right over my fence and significantly affecting my own and surrounding gardens. These do not have a preservation order on them, but are in a conservation area. I have permission off the landlord of 97a to get this felled.
