Planning application

8 Castleview Close, Hackney, London, N4 2DJ

Granted Hackney 2026/0497 Works to a Tree in Conservation Area Notification

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

Proposal

I would like to remove the tree of heaven as it is an invasive species and it is killing the other trees around it, in particular a crab apple tree behind the tree of heaven. The proposal is to cut the tree to a stump and then poison the roots so that the tree does not grow again. This will allow the crab apply tree (situated behind the tree of heaven) to grow properly. The tree of heaven (ailanthus tree) is the tree indicated in my sketch plan as the tree of heaven / tree to cut.
