Proposal
Works to tree protected by a TPO. The tree in this case is a European Lime (tilia x europaea). T008 - Find on sketch plan. The works we are requesting for the lime tree is for it to be removed. In the report attached the lime tree is referenced as (T008). T008 is a European lime tree in close proximity to the property, at the front if the boundary wall of 43 Langdon Park Road. This application proposes the removal of the T008 to avoid current and future structural damage to the property, drainage and boundaries. Upon a professional observation of T008, the report advised that T008's size and close proximity to the building is causing damage and will likely lead to further structural issues particularly heave due to the age of the tree. T008 is placing undue stress on the buildings structure. Neighbours have informed that the main foul waste sewerage runs directly beneath the tree and that it becomes blocked by the trees roots. Even the team carrying out the tree investigation whilst on site experienced blockages which they had to address by rodding the drains themselves. They have also reported damage to infrastructure and damage to their property. Neighbours have reported damage caused by T008 and request it also be removed.

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.
