35 Wedmore Street, London, N19 4RU
Proposal
Tree Species: Cherry (Prunus spp.) Location: Rear garden of 35 Wedmore Street, adjacent to the boundary with Ivo Place (see attached photographs and plan). Proposed Works Full removal of the tree and stump Reason for Work The tree is exhibiting signs of physiological decline and structural concern: Extensive crown dieback was observed in early September, with foliage retained only in one sector of the crown. A Ganoderma spp. fruiting body is present at the base of the trunk and remains visible at the time of writing. There is a basal cavity with visible internal decay and loss of structural wood. Organic matter has accumulated within this cavity. There has been recent shedding of small diameter dead branches (approximately 25mm), consistent with crown decline. Two qualified arboricultural contractors have independently advised that, given the presence of basal decay and overall decline, removal is the most appropriate course of action. Given the tree’s proximity to neighbouring properties and garden areas, the works are proposed on precautionary health and safety grounds. Supporting Information Photographs of the Ganoderma fruiting body Photographs showing crown dieback Photographs of the basal cavity Simple plan showing tree position

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
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.
