Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 Black Cherry: Crown Reduction Carry out a crown reduction to the Black Cherry tree, reducing the overall height and spread of the crown by approximately 2???3 metres. Prune selectively back to suitable and appropriate pruning points to maintain a balanced, natural and proportionate crown structure. Remove any dead, damaged or unwanted branches identified during the works, whilst retaining sufficient healthy growth to maintain the tree's overall health and appearance.

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.
