Planning application
2026/2202
2 Parkfields SW15 6NH
Proposal
The application is to reduce the size of the branches of the Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) marked "Tree" on the sketch plan "2 Parkfields Tree Topping Japanese Acer". The tree has encroached on the neighbour's side passage (No. 42 Howards Lane) and the other neighbour's garden (4 Parkfields). We intend to keep the integrity and shape of the tree, but reduce the overall size of the branches to ensure it is within the 2 Parkfields boundary walls and is an appropriate size.

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.
