Planning application
HGY/2026/1072
1 Chaplin Road, Tottenham, London, N17 6QE
Proposal
I am requesting permission to fell a mature tree located at the rear of the garden. The tree species is currently unknown; however, photographs can be provided to assist identification. The tree is not subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), but the property lies within a designated conservation area, and therefore this notification is being submitted in accordance with conservation area requirements. The tree is of significant size and is located in relatively close proximity to the property. Due to its scale and position, there are increasing concerns regarding potential risk to the property, particularly in relation to structural impact, falling branches, and general safety. The size of the tree is also becoming unsuitable for the garden environment, contributing to excessive shading and maintenance concerns. In light of the above, I request consent to remove the tree in full. I am willing to consider replacement planting if required by the council.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Haringey 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.

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.
