Planning application
P2026/0620/TRE
321, Liverpool Road, London, N1 1NQ
Proposal
A mature catalpa tree(A) exists to the front yard of 321 Liverpool Road, London N11NQ. The tree is situated near the public footpath. The applicant is undertaking works to build a roof extension that has full planning permission and listed building consent: P2025/1744/FUL and P2025/1745/LBC. An area in front of the scaffolding to the main house facade needs to be completely clear for the contractor to haul materials up the scaffolding to the rooftop level safely. It is proposed to trim back and prune light branches only up to 3.6m from the main house facade. This will give 1.9m of depth away from the proposed scaffolding across the dull width of the house. This is mostly required in order to lift new steel beams up to to the new extension level. It is proposed that no existing heavy branches of the catalpa tree are cut and/or disturbed. It is proposed to carry out this works as soon as possible and before the tree leafs out in spring. This will disturb the tree the least as it will not bleed sap as much. The pruning will not be very visible at all to the public footpath and will also provide basic maintenance pruning to keep branches of the main house facade and allow in more natural daylighting.

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.
