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 lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

HGY/2026/0733 Refused
33 Hillfield Park, Hornsey, London, N10 3QT
Works to tree protected by a TPO. T1 Holm Oak, Quercus ilex in rear garden - fell. After a number of fungi appeared on the tree in 2024 I had a Picus Test performed on the tree in October 2014 which identified decay on the interior of the tree and recommended significant pruning, which was carried out in February 2025. Unfortunately, a number of very large shaggy bracket fungi, Ionotus Hispidus have appeared on the trunk of the tree since then, raising my concern that the health of the tree was continuing to deteriorate. I had the tree assessed again by a qualified tree surgeon in January 2026 and since heavy branches have continued to fall from the tree, to protect the nearby houses and the Marks & Spencer car park to the rear of the garden they have recommended felling of the tree. The tree is 18 metres tall but only 12 metres from the house. I propose to replace the tree and would appreciate your advice on a replacement, bearing in mind the locations proximity to the building. I attach the 2024 Picus test results, the recent tree surgeon's report, a Sketch Plan and supporting photos of the fungi.

HGY/2026/1470 Granted
33 Hillfield Park, Hornsey, London, N10 3QT
Works to tree protected by a TPO. It is a Holm Oak Tree, Quercus ilex in the rear garden of number 33 Hillfield Park, N10 3QT. After a report from a qualified tree surgeon, I submitted an application to remove the tree but this was rejected. The local authority tree expert reported that The Picus report shows a seam running through the trunk’s base surrounded with ample sound residue wood (as highlighted within the report). There are two large fruiting Ganoderma spp gonks at the base on the compression south side. There is also a smaller bracket approximately 1.5m up the trunk on the west side, and evidence of an old small bracket on the northside between the buttresses. Rather than remove, the Local Planning Authority (LPA) would allow lesser works to reduce further beyond the last most recent reduction points. A 10- 12ft crown reduction above the tree’s break would reduce the sail area, bring the canopy below the surrounding tree line, and allow for the tree to be retained.
