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.

T1 & T2 – Lime (Tilia sp.) Crown reduction by approximately 20–25% to reduce height and lateral spread, selective crown thinning to improve light penetration, and removal of any dead, diseased or crossing branches. All works to be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010. The proposed works are required to manage the size and spread of the trees, as the branches have become overextended within the garden setting. The works will help maintain a balanced crown, improve light to the garden, and ensure the trees remain suitable for their residential context. The proposals are minor in nature and will not adversely affect the health, appearance, or amenity value of the trees.
