Planning application
HGY/2026/2142
56 Queens Avenue, Hornsey, London, N10 3NU
Proposal
T1 Oak in rear garden of 56 Queens Avenue (please note that the garden area is subdivided into separate areas for the enjoyment of the various flats in the property) The tree surgeon confirmed that we will have to cut/trim around 5-6 low branches of the oak tree by about 6ft (approx. 1.8m) since they overhang the boundary line for my back fence. Please see attached the photos and the oak tree marked in red. As you can it almost sits between communal path and flat 3 garden right now, and it overhands my boundary line with its lower branches. As you can see from the photo the oak tree is well over 6 metres high and my fence is only 1.65m so we will be cutting only lower branches to allow the fence to be installed.

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.
