Planning application
P2025/1786/TRE
65, Basement Flat, Anson Road, London, N7 0AS
Proposal
I intend to complete a crown reduction by a third on two chestnut trees in the front garden of 65 anson road. I am the responsible owner of these trees. I recently had a survey conducted of the property as I am selling and findings reported if trees continue to grow this could have structural issues for the supporting wall in the garden and the house itself.

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.
