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.

116 Calabria Road, London, N5 1HT
We have two trees in our back garden, and we wish to remove the tree on the right as it has grown exponentially and having both trees in place significantly blocks the sunlight to the garden. Not only is this undesirable in the summer months when we spend a lot of time outdoors, but it means our ability to maintain various species of flowers is severely impacted due to the lack of light getting through. Having both trees brings a lot of insects to the garden and we have a toddler and will soon have a new baby and we want to minimise the impact of the bugs and insects while they play outside. We are proposing to keep the left hand tree and remove the right hand tree.
