Planning application
222 Archway Road, Hornsey, London, N6 5AX
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
1 x Ash tree – Reduce the overall crown by approximately 20–30%, equating to around 2–3 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points while retaining a balanced and natural canopy shape. Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches as necessary. All works are to be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010 – Tree Work Recommendations. Justification The tree has become excessively large for its position and is significantly restricting natural light into the property. The proposed crown reduction will reduce the overall size and spread of the canopy, improve light penetration and manage the tree at a suitable scale for its location, while retaining its long-term health, structure and amenity value.

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.
