Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Works to trees protected by a TPO. T1) Holm oak - Perform a 20% crown thin to increase light penetration and reduce wind resistance, safeguarding the tree against future storm damage. Remove all epicormic growth and lower suckers up to the main crown break. Prune and clear lateral branches to establish safe clearance distances from both the adjacent highway and building structures. These structural mitigations are necessary because the tree exhibits basal decay, which compromises its load-bearing capacity. Reducing the canopy's "sail effect" lowers structural stress and promotes long-term health and stability T2) Holm oak - Perform a 20% crown thin to increase light penetration and reduce wind resistance, safeguarding the tree against future storm damage.

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.
