Flat Basement, 14 Hazlitt Road, London, W14 0JY
Proposal
Reduction to Lime Tree (#1 in sketch plan) on border between 14 Hazlitt Road and 26/1 Gratton Gardens. (REAR Garden) Proposed work is to reduce the height of the tree by approx. 60% (to roughly 1 meter higher than the garages behind it), for three reasons: 1. The tree drops a very sticky and slippery black sap which does damage to my patio, and is unsafe for children/elderly due to how slippery it is when it's wet. There has already been an slipping incident involving my grandmother. 2. As the tree increases in size, it is putting more pressure on the brick wall at the back of my garden. For structural reasons I would like the tree to be reduced by ~60%. This has been advised by landscapers who surveyed my garden for other works. I have sought the opinion of an arborist who suggested the scale/method of reduction. 3. The tree blocks a significant amount of sunlight into my garden

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Hammersmith and Fulham 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.
