Planning application
2026/0883
Woodcote 283 Dover House Road SW15 5BN
Proposal
Rear T1 Holm Oak (Evergreen) x 1 (Quercus ilex) This 16m mature holm oak has been reduced previously and its cyclical prune is now due. The holm oak is currently suffering from leaf minor, but I have explained that there is nothing can be done about it, but it will get better as the summer season develops. The tree has outgrown it's location and dominates this corner of the garden. BS:3998 allows us to reduce a tree by a maximum of one-third. Suggested work: - crown reduction, re-framing the tree - reduce the height by 4.5m, creating new reduction points - reduce lateral growth 2-2.5m to balance crown

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.
