Planning application
76 Muswell Road, Hornsey, London, N10 2BE
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Tree 2 on plan - cherry plum tree. Tree 3 on plan - western red ceder tree. Tree 4 on plan - plum tree. Tree 1 on plan - honey locust. We bought this house around a year ago, it was in a state of neglect. The garden and trees have not been managed for decades. Whilst we have cut back and tidied the garden, these four trees are causing significant damage. Aside from bringing down the fences, the large roots, evident all over the garden are causing damage to the property. Examples of damage and cracks are attached. We have had a structural engineer at the property as we are hoping to renovate, and he has advised they must be felled before repairs are made. We urgently need this done before the summer makes the ground drier to try to limit the damage to ours or any other property. We will take further advice on timing of removals etc. There are lots of other trees / shrubs in the garden, including some that provide high screening / privacy that can remain, but we urgently need to have the trees cut down before more damage is done. Once the works are complete we would look to replant 2-3 smaller trees that we can manage.

Grove Works, St Anns Road, Tottenham, London, N15 5RP
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.
