  T1 – English oak (Quercus robur): Pollard the tree to approximately 8 metres from ground level, retaining all viable internal growth to allow the development of a sustainable new crown. All works will be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 – Tree Work Recommendations. (Current approximate height: 15 m; lateral spread: 25 m.) - Reason for Works T1 has recently suffered a major limb failure (approx. 20-inch diameter) within the last three months, resulting in damage to neighbouring property. A subsequent inspection identified significant brown-rot decay within the main stem at the crown break and extending into several large lateral limbs. To reduce the risk of further structural failure while preserving the tree, a pollard to 8 m is proposed. This will reduce biomechanical loading on the compromised stem and remaining crown structure, while retaining internal growth to enable the formation of a new, more compact crown that can be safely maintained and monitored in future. T2 - English oak (Quercus robur): Although T2 has not experienced a recent limb failure, an inspection has identified that the tree is in a similar structural condition to T1, with evidence of significant decay (brown rot) within the main stem around the crown break and extending into major lateral limbs. T2 is positioned adjacent to T1 and is therefore subject to the same environmental factors and exposure, increasing the likelihood of comparable structural issues developing into future failures. To proactively reduce the risk of limb or crown failure and to preserve the tree long-term, a pollard to 8 m is proposed. This will reduce biomechanical loading on the compromised stem and remaining crown, while retaining internal growth to allow the formation of a new, manageable crown that can be safely maintained and monitored in future.

   Decision expected by 22 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Haringey took a median of 55 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Haringey for determination, against a statutory target of eight weeks. Over the last year Haringey decided tree works applications in a median of 24 days. More in our guide to how long planning decisions take.

Applications for works to trees cover protected trees: consent under a tree preservation order, or six weeks notice for trees in a conservation area. More in our guide to planning application types.

  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"

  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.
