Proposal
Front garden T1 - small-medium Elm This tree has grown to a height at which it may be in danger of being infected by Dutch Elm Disease. The main leader is also entangled within the crown of the adjacent Ailanthus. We advise remove upright limb entangled within the Ailanthus. Reduce remainder by 2.5m to leave a well formed tree. T2 - medium Ailanthus blocking light and air to front garden We advise lift the crown to 4m all round, thin canopy by 12% removing deadwood and crossing branches. Rear garden (access via garage to Aberdeen Lane) T3 and T4 extra large 2x mature Lime Remove deadwood and broken branches from crowns of both trees. Tree work is to be undertaken to remove dead branches to improve form and increase safety in accordance with good arboriculture practice and maintain the future wellbeing and growth of the trees.

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.

7 Aberdeen Park, London, N5 2AN
Front T1 False Acacia x 1 (Robinia pseudoacacia) This 12m mature Robinia has severe die back in the crown. The top 3m are stone dead with large cracks in the bark exposing decaying heartwood. There are fungal fruiting bodies around the base, indicating root decay. There tree leans towards the house but is alongside the public footpath. Any failure would cause significant damage. Suggested work: - fell to ground level using advanced rigging techniques - poison stump to prevent the root system sending up suckers Client happy to replant significant tree (5m with 12-14cm girth). Justification : Tree is in severe decline, it is half dead, it has a lean, mushrooms at the base, and all of that is a large risk to the public. Front T2 Mulberry x 1 This 8m mature mulberry tree has grown too large for the client to be able to pick the fruit. It is also encroaching upon the property. Suggested work:- crown reduction reframe- reduce the height 3m - reduce the lateral growth 1-2m to create umbrella shape Recommend mulberry pruned January - March 2027 The justification is the tree is too big, it has been pruned previously and now needs pruning again. Its close to the house and encroaches on the footpath, a reduction will make the tree smaller.
