Proposal
3 x Holm Oak / Bay Group - Height Reduction & Building Clearance The group comprising three Holm Oaks Bay trees will be reduced in height to align with the adjacent guttering line. In addition, the canopies will be cut back from the building to provide a minimum clearance of 1.5 metres. The crowns will then be reshaped to produce a symmetrical and aesthetically balanced finish. Reason for works: General tree maintenance and light starvation to property.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Westminster 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.

T1 Oak (Quercus spp.) - Carry out a selective crown reduction of approximately 1.5 metres, reducing back to previous points of reduction where appropriate. The works will be undertaken to manage overall size while retaining a full and natural canopy outline. All pruning cuts will be made back to suitable secondary growth points, maintaining crown continuity, structural integrity, and a well-balanced canopy structure. Reason for work- General tree maintenance

T1 & T2- 2 x Veteran London Plane Trees - Pollarding The two veteran London Planes require cyclical pollarding in line with their historic management regime. Pollarding will involve reducing the canopy back by circa 2.5m, retaining the existing pollard framework. T3, T4, T5- 3 x Sycamore Trees - Crown Reduction and ivy removal. The Sycamores will be pruned back to suitable growth points and reduced in height by approximately 1.5m metre, 1m laterally. The reduction will be carried out evenly throughout the canopy to maintain natural form and structural integrity. T6, T7, T8, T9- 4 x Lime Trees- Pollarding The four Lime trees are to be pollarded to appropriate and sustainable growth points 1.5m overall. This will reduce overall canopy size while maintaining a balanced and structurally sound framework for regrowth. Reason for works: General tree maintenance

T1 (Aesculus sp.) - laterally crown reduce by 1.0-1.5m as identified by the red lines shown on T1-SK1 and T1-SK2; and T2 (Pyrus calleryana) laterally crown reduce by 1.5m as identified by the red line shown on T2-SK1. Measured pruning extents to supplement the aforementioned sketches are shown on the 260675-TMA-XX-DR-AP-2300-P00 and 260675-TMA-XX-DR-AP-2400-P00 plans, which show the site in its existing and approved contexts respectively. The pruning to the aforementioned 2no. trees is required, in order to facilitate the installation of a scaffold frame around the existing building at the Site, which is required in order to facilitate the implementation of Full Planning Permission 25/01006/FULL ('the Permission'). In determining the Permission, no arboricultural information was submitted to facilitate its determination; and no conditions require the provision of tree-related information. However, the specified pruning is required to facilitate the implementation of the Permission, hence this Section 211 Notification. For the avoidance of doubt, according to the Delegated Report related to the Permission, the Arboricultural Officers were not a consultee. This Section 211 Notification is therefore submitted to regularise the required pruning to the affected 2no. trees in the only known manner that is feasible relative to the conditional elements of the Permission. The red line planning boundary is shown on all of the plans submitted to this Section 211 Notification; data related to both surveyed trees is also included in the submitted schedule (that uses the BS 5837:2012 methodology).
