Planning application
Flat 10, Connaught House, Connaught Gardens, Hornsey, London, N10 3LH
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Works to tree protected by a TPO. Ash (T1) - Reduce branches overhanging gardens of Connaught House back to previous cuts (up to 2.5m off), remove epicormic growth (max diameter branch 8cm) up to roof height (10m). Reasons: the tree dominates the garden and all adjacent gardens, blocking a lot of light and dropping debris in all of them. The gutters are regularly blocked, causing issues with the building. The work will reduce debris drop in the gutters and gardens, and let more light into the building and all adjacent gardens. The work has been done before and the pruning back to previous cuts will have limited negative impact on the tree health or visual amenity.

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.
