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.

521, Flat 1, Caledonian Road, London, N7 9RH
T1 – Apple Malus domestica Proposed Works: • Reduce excessive upright (vertical) growth to rebalance the crown. • Selectively prune lateral branches to improve overall form, symmetry, and structural integrity. • Retain and encourage fruiting wood to maintain fruit production potential. Reason: To improve crown structure, balance, and long-term health while maintaining the tree’s amenity value and fruiting capability. T2 – Pear Pyrus communis Proposed Works: • Reduce dominant upright growth. • Selectively prune lateral branches to reshape and refine the canopy. • Improve internal light penetration and airflow throughout the crown. Reason: To enhance tree health and vigour, reduce congestion within the canopy, and promote sustainable growth and fruiting. Front Garden T3 – Lime Tillia species Proposed Works: • Pollard back to previous, established pollard points only. • No new pollard points to be created. Reason: To maintain the tree within its established pollarding cycle, ensuring continued vitality, structural safety, and a consistent form appropriate to its location.
