Proposal
Elderberry to be removed from back garden. Tree is c.4 metres in height and the truck is 14cm in diameter at a level of 1.5m above ground. The tree resides on the rear boundary of 51 Tetherdown and the side of 1 Burlington Road. The owners of Burlington Road have had cracks in the side wall of their property (pictures available if required) which after investigation by B&SC Building & Structural Consultants Ltd have been attributed to the roots of the aforementioned elderberry. B&SC Ltd have recommended removal of the elderberry to prevent further structural damage to the property. Quote for works to remove professionally have been received from Greenfeat Gardening.

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.

Our Lady Of Muswell Catholic Primary School, Pages Lane, Hornsey, London, N10 1PS
I need to advise Haringey council that we are going to fell this unsafe lime tree at the school which is within the Muswell hill conservation area. A large portion of the tree has already fallen to the ground and damaged a nearby garden shed. Only a 3.5m metre stem remains which we are going to fell to ground level. The stem itself is heavily decayed and presents a risk to the adjacent school grounds, therefore it needs to be removed. I have attached photos of the base of the fallen stem where the decay is visible and the remaining stem which is coated in vines and ivy.

Flat A, 16 Mount View Road, Hornsey, London, N4 4HX
There is a tree in the back garden I believe it’s a type of maple T1 , but not 100%. Its overdue a reduction. I've suggested around 2m off the top and match the sides to create a compound shape. It’s blocking out a lot of light to the end of the garden and is quite close to the buildings at the back.
