Planning application

Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
I am requesting permission to fell a mature tree located at the rear of the garden. The tree species is currently unknown; however, photographs can be provided to assist identification. The tree is not subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), but the property lies within a designated conservation area, and therefore this notification is being submitted in accordance with conservation area requirements. The tree is of significant size and is located in relatively close proximity to the property. Due to its scale and position, there are increasing concerns regarding potential risk to the property, particularly in relation to structural impact, falling branches, and general safety. The size of the tree is also becoming unsuitable for the garden environment, contributing to excessive shading and maintenance concerns. In light of the above, I request consent to remove the tree in full. I am willing to consider replacement planting if required by the council.

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.
