Planning application

27 Firs Avenue, Hornsey, London, N10 3LY

Granted Haringey HGY/2025/2393 Works to trees in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Proposal: We are proposing to have the large lime tree at the bottom of our garden pruned professionally, as part of the cycle of regular pruning. The proposed work is a 30% crown reduction and thinning back to previous reduction points. I would estimate that the tree is about 15 metres high, so we are requesting a reduction of some 4-5 metres. The tree was last pruned in 2021 under your reference CON/2021/0518: it is in a Conservation Area, but not subject to a Tree Preservation Order.

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.
