Planning application

60 North Road, Hornsey, London, N6 4AA

Granted Haringey HGY/2024/2845 Works to trees in Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

The plane tree is directly opposite our house approximately 1.5 m from our boundary wall. Over the past few years the surface tree roots have not only damaged the public footpath between the tree and our wall but have severely cracked our brick boundary wall and is rotating the pier that holds up our front gate. We plan to take down the wall and pier carefully and rebuild on new foundations. So a like for like repair and replacement. We intend to bridge over the tree roots where possible with the new foundations and where necessary carefully cut the roots to enable the foundations to have a firm footing. This is most likely where the pier is located as a root visibly undermines the pier. We won't know how best to deal with the roots until a new foundation trench is dug. The approach will be however to bridge over rather than cut as a priority. We have discussed these works with an arboriculturalist who confirmed this is a common problem and a standard approach.

    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.
