Flat A, 16 Mount View Road, Hornsey, London, N4 4HX
Proposal
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.

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 2, Pine Court, Mount View Road, Hornsey, London, N4 4JJ
We own the flat 2, Pine Court, 103/105 Mount View Road, Crouch End, London N4 4JJ. We have a cherry tree at the back of the garden, approximately 5m to 7m away from the back door, which has grown very tall and whose roots have now lifted the patio slabs at the rear of the property and the concrete apron around a manhole. The tree does not have a TPO. I would like to get a professional to cut down the height of this tree by about 30% , to stop further damage and a possible problem with the foundation
