   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 29 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.

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.

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Westminster is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

  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.

  T2 Sorbus (Rowan): Fell to ground level The proposed removal is justified on arboricultural grounds due to the presence of a decay causing fungus affecting the structural integrity of the tree. Retention would present an unacceptable level of risk in its current location.
