   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 3 March 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Wandsworth took a median of 60 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Wandsworth for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Wandsworth decided tree works applications in a median of 50 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

Applications for works to trees cover protected trees: consent under a tree preservation order, or six weeks notice for trees in a conservation area. More in our guide to planning application types.

  87% historically approved · decision due ~9 Sep

  The proposed 2m reductions were in line with previous management cycles and aimed at maintaining the trees at a sustainable size through re-pruning back to established reduction points. These works are not considered excessive and are considered good arboricultural practice for long-term health and safety. We are surprised to see our previous application (APPLICATION NUMBER: 2025/1678) refused on the basis of ???no arboricultural reason,??? particularly as this level of work has been routinely approved in the past. There is no suggestion that the trees were previously mismanaged, nor that this re-entry would cause harm. Furthermore, it is unusual that no alternative specification was suggested, which would typically allow for a constructive adjustment rather than outright refusal. In light of the above, we would appreciate confirmation as to whether the Council would be willing to approve the specifications: T15 English Oak: Current Height: Approx. 18 metres Current Lateral Spread: Approx. 9 metres Proposed Works: Carry out a crown reduction by up to 1.5???2 metres in height and lateral spread to previous reduction points. Final height after works: approx. 16???16.5 metres Final lateral spread: approx. 7???7.5 metres All cuts to be made to suitable secondary growth points in line with BS 3998 (2010). Tree to be left with a natural, balanced shape. Reason for Works: Routine cyclical maintenance to manage crown size, maintain previous reduction framework, improve light penetration, and reduce mechanical stress on extended limbs. T16 Red Oak: Current Height: Approx. 17 metres Current Lateral Spread: Approx. 8 metres Proposed Works: Carry out a crown reduction by up to 1.5???2 metres in height and lateral spread, returning to previous pruning points. Final height after works: approx. 15???15.5 metres Final lateral spread: approx. 6???6.5 metres All cuts to be made to appropriate secondary branches, preserving the natural form. Reason for Works: General maintenance and re-entry pruning to contain crown size, reduce risk of limb failure, and maintain proportion and health consistent with previous approved cycles. Please can an alternative specification be put forward if needed? We would also kindly request that this be expedited if possible, as we are keen to avoid restarting a fresh application and facing a further 8 week delay for a decision we feel is unfair. We remain open to cooperating with the delegated Tree Officer to find a mutually acceptable outcome and would welcome any feedback or site discussion if appropriate.
