Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 - Holly tree - we would like to reduce the tree by about 2-3 metres back to previous points to maintain a balanced shape and bring more light in to the properties and gardens. T2 - Lime tree - we would like to reduce the tree more significantly than the trees have always be done. I have attached a photo indicating the level we would like to reduce it to. It would be reducing it by about 4-5 metres, to points which can maintain a balanced shape. The aim is to bring more light in to the gardens and all the neighbouring gardens as they restrict a lot of light. Maintaining a good shape would still be the main objective whilst bringing more light for all the neighbours. T3- Maple tree - we would like to reduce the tree more significantly than the trees have always be done. I have attached a photo indicating the level we would like to reduce it to. It would be reducing it by about 4-5 metres, to points which can maintain a balanced shape. The aim is to bring more light in to the gardens and all the neighbouring gardens as they restrict a lot of light. Maintaining a good shape would still be the main objective whilst bringing more light for all the neighbours. T4 - Sycamore tree - we would like to reduce the tree more significantly than the trees have always be done. I have attached a photo indicating the level we would like to reduce it to. It would be reducing it by about 4-5 metres, to points which can maintain a balanced shape. The aim is to bring more light in to the gardens and all the neighbouring gardens as they restrict a lot of light. Maintaining a good shape would still be the main objective whilst bringing more light for all the neighbours. T5 - T9 -Lime trees - we would like to reduce the trees more significantly than the trees have always be done. I have attached a photo indicating the level we would like to reduce it to. It would be reducing it by about 4-5 metres, to points which can maintain a balanced shape. The aim is to bring more light in to the gardens and all the neighbouring gardens as they restrict a lot of light. Maintaining a good shape would still be the main objective whilst bringing more light for all the neighbours. T9-T16 - Lime trees - we would like to reduce the smaller Lime trees by about 2-3 metres back to previous reduction points to increase light in to the garden. T17 - Fig tree - we would like to fell the Fig tree which is growing next to the property of number 12 and is causing issues for which a report has been attached.

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.
