Works to tree protected by a TPO. T1 Holm Oak, Quercus ilex in rear garden - fell. After a number of fungi appeared on the tree in 2024 I had a Picus Test performed on the tree in October 2014 which identified decay on the interior of the tree and recommended significant pruning, which was carried out in February 2025. Unfortunately, a number of very large shaggy bracket fungi, Ionotus Hispidus have appeared on the trunk of the tree since then, raising my concern that the health of the tree was continuing to deteriorate. I had the tree assessed again by a qualified tree surgeon in January 2026 and since heavy branches have continued to fall from the tree, to protect the nearby houses and the Marks & Spencer car park to the rear of the garden they have recommended felling of the tree. The tree is 18 metres tall but only 12 metres from the house. I propose to replace the tree and would appreciate your advice on a replacement, bearing in mind the locations proximity to the building. I attach the 2024 Picus test results, the recent tree surgeon's report, a Sketch Plan and supporting photos of the fungi.

Works to tree protected by a TPO. It is a Holm Oak Tree, Quercus ilex in the rear garden of number 33 Hillfield Park, N10 3QT. After a report from a qualified tree surgeon, I submitted an application to remove the tree but this was rejected. The local authority tree expert reported that The Picus report shows a seam running through the trunk’s base surrounded with ample sound residue wood (as highlighted within the report). There are two large fruiting Ganoderma spp gonks at the base on the compression south side. There is also a smaller bracket approximately 1.5m up the trunk on the west side, and evidence of an old small bracket on the northside between the buttresses. Rather than remove, the Local Planning Authority (LPA) would allow lesser works to reduce further beyond the last most recent reduction points. A 10- 12ft crown reduction above the tree’s break would reduce the sail area, bring the canopy below the surrounding tree line, and allow for the tree to be retained.

Works to tree protected by a TPO. T1 - Holm oak tree (15m) - reduce crown by approximately 4m on all aspects of tree. The recent Picus test shows decay at the base of the tree adjacent to the fungal bracket centrally. The proposed pruning is to relieve stress from these areas by crown retrenchment overall by 3m to 4m. This will limit the risk of branch breakage in these areas. Continue to monitor.

Dawn Redwood. Tree T1 on Sketch Plan. Arboriculturist Conclusion "Given the presence of cracks in the wall of adjacent buildings, and the close proximity of the tree to the buildings, it is recommended that T1 is removed to ground level." Engineer's Conclusion "the best course of action to avoid any further movement on the existing building would be to remove the existing tree and underpin the existing foundation"

HGY/2026/2127 Granted
Pembury House Nursery, Lansdowne Road, Tottenham, London, N17 9XE
Ginkgo (T1) - fell. Reason: this is a female tree, that drops fruit all over the nursery playground. The children try to eat them, it gets into their clothes, shoes, hands, and all over the class room, creating an extremely unpleasant environment for the children and staff. Replant with another deciduous tree with similar potential size canopy (eg. Norway maple) Sycamore (T2) - Reduce the height of the tree by 4m. Reduce lateral branches in line with this (up to 2.5m). Reason: There is some decay at the base of the tree on the east side, spanning 40% of the circumference of the tree. The bark is flaking from ground level up to 1.5m, and use of the sounding mallet indicates the dysfunctional wood extends at least to the same height. The tree has a full crown, but has had selective branch length reductions in the past. The crown overhangs the nursery playground and neighbouring parking area. Lime x2 (T10 & T11) - Crown raise to 4m, removing epicormic growth. Reason: to remove the branches that touch the shelter to prevent damage.
