Planning application
P2026/1284/TRE
18 Canonbury Park North, London, N1 2JT
Proposal
T1 - Robinia - Reduce crown by 1-2m beyond previous reduction points Reason for work - one of the stems has significant decay running along the whole length of the trunk from 1m above ground level. This stem has died back. The rest of the crown extends to over 20m high and spreads significantly across the road and neighbouring property, and a further reduction to the branch extremities is proposed to lessen the likelihood of branch or stem failure T2 - Holly - reduce to previous points of reduction (1m crown reduction) Reason for work - this is routine maintenance of a large tree gorowing in proximity to the building and public highway

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.

Rear garden Ligustrum japonica - prune back regrowth (approx. 2-3m) to previous pruning points and reshape Leyland cypress (approx. 3 trees in a clump) - trim sides and height by approx. 1-2m to form a more compact habit whilst ensuring not to prune back beyond green growth Fig - prune back regrowth by approx. 2.5m to suitable pruning points to leave a balanced and natural form. Where necessary crown thin by 20% removing congested regrowth. N.B. Pruning cuts are not to extend below last reduction points Front garden Sycamore - Prune back re-growth (approx. 3m) back to last, most recent crown reduction points N.B. Pruning cuts are not to extend below last reduction points

T1 - Front garden - Tilla sp Crown lift lower canopy to approximately 4 metres above ground level to improve light levels to the ground floor window whilst maintaining a balanced crown structure. Reduce crown back from the building to provide approximately 2 metres clearance from the structure. Reduce upper canopy by approximately 2–3 metres from branch ends, pruning to suitable growth points throughout. Works to retain as much healthy internal foliage as reasonably practicable, with the objective of managing the overall size of the tree whilst encouraging regrowth within the upper crown and reducing the development of aggressive basal and epicormic growth. Tree previously managed as a high pollard
