Planning application
P2025/1255/TRE
Flat 1, 54 Loraine Road, London, N7 6HB
Proposal
Sycamore Tree TPO Reference Number: 54 TPO Title: LBI TPO (NO. 54) 1982 Details: SOUTH EAST CORNER OF REAR GARDEN Proposed works: Whole crown reduction by 5m in order to slow growth of the tree and prevent further damage to the adjacent wall, as well as stop further encroachment onto the surrounding properties. Proposal includes the removal of the ivy that has surrounded the trunk and the upper branches. Permission for a crown reduction is also being applied for to provide further light into the garden. Since the tree has not been pruned in over 10 years, it has grown significantly since then, and there is less light reaching the garden / basement property.
As published by the council, reference P2025/1255/TRE

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.
