Planning application

159 Farrant Avenue, Wood Green, London, N22 6PG

Granted Haringey HGY/2025/2342 Works to trees in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

We are intending to reduce the crown of the cherry tree in our (159 Farrant Avenue) garden, T1 as identified in the sketch plan. This is to reduce the overhang of the tree into 157 Farrant Avenue, reduce the risk of damage to properties in storms and maintain the overall health of the tree and surrounding garden. The crown reduction will see approximately 1.5m reduced from the top of the tree and between 1.5m and 1m on the sides, taking the tree to stand 4m tall and 3m wide, bringing the tree into a more balanced shape (where it currently sits unevenly). No works should impact the main stem of the tree, with reduction focused on tall and wide branches. We have discussed our planned works with a local tree surgeon and will agree access with our neighbour (157 Farrant Avenue) where required for the branches overhanging her property.

    FIVE DAY NOTICE Cyprus (T1) Fell to ground level and 5 day notice to fell it due it being an extremely dangerous tree and is on the brink of falling over and has been propped up by a wooden beam since they moved in July 2022. I have attached photos and as you can see - it's not an insignificant size tree - but the trunk grows from the ground at a 45 degree angle before going completely horizontal for about 150cm before returning upright. It's clearly dangerous under its own weight and because it has been poorly maintained it looks a complete state too, so I'd like to replace it with another more appropriate tree when we come redo the garden this year.

    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.
