   Decision expected by 19 March 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Westminster took a median of 91 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Westminster for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Westminster decided tree works applications in a median of 49 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.

  X1 Silver birch: Fell As detailed within the accompanying arboricultural and engineering evidence, the tree is situated approximately 1.8 metres from the property and is exhibiting significant surface rooting typical of Betula pendula. The shallow root system has caused measurable deformation of the tarmacadam driveway, including uplift, cracking, sub base distortion and surface delamination. The independent hard surface and drainage assessment confirms that reinstatement of the driveway to compliant drainage gradients cannot be achieved without excavation within the tree?s root protection area. Due to the garage threshold being set lower than the driveway level, regrading without root removal would create unacceptable flood risk. Pruning has been considered but is not a viable long term solution. Birch species tolerate reduction poorly and significant pruning would accelerate physiological decline without addressing the underlying root conflict. Given the constrained rooting environment, ongoing hard surface displacement and drainage implications, removal and replacement is considered the only sustainable long term solution. We propose to replace the tree with a suitable specimen of approximately 18 to 20 cm e girth, to be positioned appropriately within the site to avoid recurrence of structural conflict while maintaining amenity value. We respectfully request that the application be approved in light of the enclosed technical evidence.

  Lords Cricket Ground St John's Wood Road London NW8 8QZ

  2 lime trees located to the west of the Allen Stand and north of Lords Tavern, by the Grace Gate entrance from St John's Wood Road. These trees are noted as T7 and T8 on attached plans and reports. Roots belonging to both trees were severed during excavations for service trenches associated with construction of the Allen Stand on site. Static load tests were carried out to both trees in April 2026, which flagged T7 as having an insufficient safety factor. T7 was therefore recommended for a 3m reduction in height to reduce the risk of failure. Due to T7 and T8 forming a continuous canopy, T8 has also been recommended for the same specification of reduction to prevent exposing its crown to excessive wind loading.

  208 Randolph Avenue London W9 1PF

  T3 ? Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), located in the rear garden of 208 Randolph Avenue, London W9 1PF. Proposed works: Fell T3 Sycamore to ground level and remove the resulting timber and arisings. The tree has been classified as Category U in the Arboricultural Implications Assessment (Report J69.34, dated 12 October 2026) prepared by Broad Oak Tree Consultants. The assessment identifies significant basal decay, a basal cavity, structural deterioration and crown dieback. The report recommends pollarding at approximately 8 metres or felling. Full removal is proposed due to the tree's poor structural condition and associated safety concerns.
