Proposal
Hi, My Clients would like to Re-pollard 2x London Plane trees (T1 + T2) and 1x Lime tree (T3) back to previous pollard points, removing an estimated 3m re-growth. The reason for the works is to maintain the trees size in relation to the space, as they in the small front garden of the property only a few metres from the building. We would be aiming to do this work during the winter pollarding season.

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.
