What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Islington 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.

12 Lofting Road, London, N1 1ET
Rear T1 Silver Birch x 1 (Betula pendula / alba) This 12m silver birch has not previously been reduced, but the neighbour has cut a branch back to the boundary that has died. The tree has outgrown its location. Suggested work: - sensitive full crown reduction - reduce the height by 2.5m - reduce the lateral growth by 2-3m - thin by 15% - remove climbing rose from the crown break, cut down to fence height Rear T2 Cherry x 1 (Prunus spp) This 14m cherry tree has not been reduced previously. It is growing close to the property, with lateral branches touching the roof. With a tree this size on London clay base there will always be a risk of subsidence. We recommend removal and replanting with another fruit tree. - fell to ground level Front T3 Buddleia x 1 This overgrown buddleia offers good privacy to the front of the house, but needs pruning to maintain a more desirable shape. Suggested work: - reduce back from the house by 2-3m - reduce the height of the remaining canopy 2m - cut back from pavement to boundary of garden
