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.

Front Garden. Removal of a Cupressus sempervivens which has grown too big for the site and is too close to the house (it is about 16ft from the house).

Works to tree protected by a TPO. T2 Dead stem / probable historic Oak remnant – Fell remaining monolith to ground level. The remaining standing stem appears to represent a retained remnant of a former oak specimen and is now substantially dead with limited ongoing amenity contribution. Removal is proposed to improve safe and practical use of the garden space and prevent ongoing obstruction within the area. (Works to T1 Beech will be considered separately under Section 211 Notice ref. HGY/2026/1513, as this tree is not protected by a TPO but is located within a Conservation Area)

T1 Beech – Reduce crown by approximately 1.5m to 2m overall in order to reshape and rebalance the canopy. The tree currently exhibits a somewhat misshapen and overextended crown form with encroachment over the adjacent pavement area. The proposed works are intended to improve overall crown symmetry and appearance whilst reducing excessive extension growth and maintaining suitable clearance from the public footway. The reduction will help retain the tree within a more appropriate and visually balanced form consistent with good arboricultural management. (Works to T2 Dead stem / probable historic Oak remnant will be considered separately under tree works application ref. HGY/2026/1512, as this tree is protected by a TPO)
