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.

3 Hopping Lane, London, N1 2NU
4m tall Cotoneaster in a small private back garden. Tree canopy is half dead, and supressing an ornamental Acer next door. Propose to remove; the owner has agreed. No plans to replant a tree: it is a small garden, the Acer is next door, also there is a big lime tree on the other side to the West, overhanging this garden, which may be contributing to the Cotoneaster's poor health (aphid mess), and a big plane tree nearby to the East. See photos. The regrowth from the Cotoneaster stump might be managed as a shrub in future.
