Planning application
P2025/1140/TRE
71, Cleveland Road, London, N1 3ES
Proposal
We would like to remove the large tree from outside the house and replace it with a magnolia. This is because the current tree blocks light into our property and doesn’t offer any flowers. We are hoping to plant a magnolia which lets in more light to our property and will provide joy of spring flowers to both our family and people walking by. We think this tree will be much more in keeping with the style of the area than the more tropical variety there is today.

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.
