Planning application

13B Mehetabel Road, Hackney, London, E9 6DU

Granted Hackney 2025/2539 Works to a Tree in Conservation Area Notification

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Rear garden: Felling to ground level of T1 (Hornbeam) by way of controlled dismantle using climbing and controlled lowering techniques down to ground level. Reasons for felling are: (i) T1 is too big and has outgrown its location, (ii) it causes excessive shade in the garden which has meant no grass has ever been able to grow, (iii) it blocks light to the house, predominantly the kitchen where we will be spending a significant amount of time and thus be particularly impacted by this. We would look to replace T2 with a 2m acer or a 1.5m cornus kousa.
