Proposal
I would like to carry out the following works: 1. Prune all overhanging branches of a bay tree: a) back to the inside boundary of the garden party wall between 126 and 128 Offord Road (the branches over hang by about 1.5m; b) the full height of the tree The trunk of the tree is located in the garden of 126 Offord - I believe it's in the garden accessed by the upper maisonette. The Bay tree is about 9m tall, has 3 trunks and is 30cm from the party garden wall between 126 and 128 Offord Road The property (freehold) is owned by Islington Council and they are well aware of the tree. The pruning will be carried out in September and respect bird nesting season needs. I have obtained a quote from Forbes Tree Care (respected arborists, who also undertake work for Islington Council). They will undertake the works set out (AMENDED 29/08/25)

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.
