Planning application
5 Talbot Road, Hornsey, London, N6 4QS
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
The proposed works relate to the mature London Plane tree located in the rear garden. There is currently some deadwood within the lower canopy, and small branches have been falling into the garden, creating a potential safety concern. The proposed works are intentionally limited and precautionary. We are not proposing any crown reduction, topping or removal of established structural limbs The works will consist only of removing clearly dead or unsafe minor branches where necessary and removing epicormic growth from the lower part of the tree and main stems The overall height, spread, shape and main crown of the tree will remain unchanged All significant healthy branches and the upper canopy will be retained The intention is simply to improve safety and manage the lower growth while preserving the character, health and appearance of this mature London Plane All works will be undertaken carefully by a professional tree surgeon and in accordance with appropriate arboricultural practice
