4. 2 Sep 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

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.

  Tree number - T1 Tree type - Lawson Cypress (Chamaecyparis lawsniana) Approx Height - 12m Approx Spread - 5m Location - Front garden in middle of driveway near house Service - Fell Work required- Dismantle tree as close to tree's current ground level as possible and leave the stump in the ground Reason - Tree is located very close to the clients property with hard standing surface (driveway) around trees entire base, presuming resulting in suppressed root growth, significant areas of damage to drive from tree roots posing severe trip hazard and extensive continued repair. Small decaying cavity at trees base, although minor at present if the decay persists there is potential the trees integrity could be compromised. Tree is twin stem with an included union, minimum compression at present but reaction wood either side of union suggests loading stresses exist. The severity of failure is heightened due to trees close proximity to the house. Underground water piping very close and around base of tree with two man hole covers almost right up against trees base, assuming high potential for root damage to pipe works. Property has history of subsidence issues where a large tree in similar proximity had to be removed as concluded to be contributor to the subsidence. Artemis to supply and plant x1 Field Maple (Acer campestre) at 200-250cm tall to replace TPO tree

  25 Dennis Lane, Stanmore, Harrow, HA7 4JS

  I am seeking consent to remove both Lawson Cypresses by felling the trees, including removing any root above ground level. The main reason for wanting to fell Tree Number T11 with TPO Number 520 is the safety risk it poses. The tree’s root system is actively causing physical damage to my property as the roots are uplifting driveway slabs, creating uneven surfaces. This has introduced a clear trip hazard, posing a risk to residents and visitors. The displacement appears to be ongoing, indicating that damage will likely worsen over time if the tree remains.
