Birch (Betula spp.) ? western side of tennis court Located adjacent to T1 on the western side of the tennis court when viewed from Randolph Road. Reduce the lateral crown spread by approximately 2m from the tennis-court side, cutting back the overhanging branches to suitable growth points.

General specification: All works are proposed as routine arboricultural maintenance to retain the trees at a suitable size for their location and to manage crown growth extending towards the tennis court. All pruning cuts will be made to suitable growth points in accordance with good arboricultural practice. The works will be carried out sympathetically, retaining the natural form and structural framework of each tree and avoiding unnecessarily large pruning wounds.

    Awaiting decision

    Decision expected by 26 October 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 60 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

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.
