Planning application
P2026/1265/TRE
3 Hopping Lane, London, N1 2NU
Proposal
4m tall Cotoneaster in a small private back garden. Tree canopy is half dead, and supressing an ornamental Acer next door. Propose to remove; the owner has agreed. No plans to replant a tree: it is a small garden, the Acer is next door, also there is a big lime tree on the other side to the West, overhanging this garden, which may be contributing to the Cotoneaster's poor health (aphid mess), and a big plane tree nearby to the East. See photos. The regrowth from the Cotoneaster stump might be managed as a shrub in future.

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.
