Proposal
TPO 248/1999 T NUMBERS DO NOT MATCH TPO T006 ??? Holm Oak T006. Crown lift to 2m over footpath and 2.5m over road and reduce NW crown spread by 2.5???3m to reduce forces on weak unions and create adequate clearance between building and footpath. G008A ??? Robinia (individual tree within G008) Remove due to poor, declining, condition and risk to adjacent building. T026 ??? Pedunculate Oak Reduce/lift canopy to create 2m clearance from listed building. Remove deadwood overhanging building. G053 ??? Two Bird Cherry Trees Crown lift to 2m over footpath to create adequate clearance. G062 ??? Group of Ash Trees Remove due to low safe life expectancy from ash dieback and fungal decay. G63A, G63B and G63C ??? Ash Remove due to individual structural defects and ash dieback resulting in low safe life expectancy. Remaining trees within G63 (not assigned individual letters) The removal of the surrounding ash trees with fungal decay, ash dieback and poor primary unions present will result in a huge loss in companion shelter, and increased wind loading that these trees are not acclimated to, increasing their risk of failure. Therefore, it is proposed to remove these remaining trees from within the group also. Moreover, it is inevitable that trees in the group without symptoms of ash dieback will begin showing symptoms in the near future. T064 ??? Ash Remove due to ash dieback and fungal decay. T066 ??? English Yew Crown lift to 2m over footpath and reduce overall height and spread by 1m to reduce loading on poor unions and provide clearance from building and lamppost. T077 ??? Cedar Remove stump.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Wandsworth for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
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.
