Planning application
P2025/1075/TRE
94 Hornsey Lane, London
Proposal
This application concerns a common lime tree which sits on land within the garden of 94 Hornsey Lane, immediately adjoining the lane leading to 10 garages and 77 Whitehall Park, N19 3TW. The tree is leaning into the lane, and causing an obstruction to lane traffic - and the angle at which it is leaning is speeding up, which makes us think it could be dangerous. The tree can be seen in the accompanying photos. It is one of a group of self-seeded trees which have been allowed to grow in an uncontrolled manner. Our plan is to remove that part of the tree which obstructs the lane, leaving the trunk of the tree (in the neighbour's garden). The neighbour has not responded to numerous requests to deal with this tree - and latterly to permit us to remove it completely at our sole expense. He has been contacted by email, registered letter and text.

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.
