Proposal
Back Garden (Left Boundary) #T1: Fig tree - Fell to ground level, install specialist poison to kill stump and prevent regeneration (stump remaining) Height of tree currently: 4M Height of tree after reduction: 0M Spread of tree currently: 3M Spread of tree after reduction: 0M (Right Boundary) #T2: Bay tree - Reduce height by 1m, trim to shape by 0.5m Height of tree currently: 4M Height of tree after reduction: 3M Spread of tree currently: 3m Spread of tree after reduction: 2.5m Reasons for Work Application #T1 Fig Tree - The tree has significantly outgrown the size of the garden and is suppressing the growth of surrounding shrubs due to shading and competition for light and nutrients. Its removal will allow the remaining planting to establish properly and will make the garden more usable for the family. #T2: The bay tree is proposed for general tree maintenance only, to reduce and shape the canopy and retain it at a manageable size appropriate for its location.

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.
