Planning application
Fitzroy Court, 57-59 Shepherds Hill, Hornsey, London, N6 5RD
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
(T1) Oak Reduce the height and overall crown spread by approximately 2–3 metres, with selective crown rebalancing to restore a more even and balanced structure. A large limb has previously failed from the tree, causing significant damage to the garages below and leaving the remaining crown noticeably unbalanced. The proposed reduction will help to restore balance, reduce excessive end weight and assist in maintaining the tree’s long-term health and structural stability. There is also a large limb extending over the new garages which contains a significant cavity. Due to its position directly above the garage roofs, it is recommended that this limb is removed back to the main trunk to eliminate the immediate risk of further limb failure and potential damage to the buildings below. Remove major deadwood throughout the crown where appropriate to reduce the risk of falling branches and improve overall safety.

Stanhope House, 38-40 Shepherds Hill, Hornsey, London, N6 5RR
Works to trees protected by a TPO. T1 Lombardy Poplar - tree is located on the outer edge of the property boundary on the side of the public footpath. Tree has a large cavity in the main crown break. The tree was heavily pollarded around 3 years ago to eleviate the stress on the stems and stop a possible failure. Tree has recovered very well and has a new crown area. Reduce new crown by around 3m of current height whilst maintaining a good crown, to reduce wind loading on the stems. T2 Maple - tree is located next to the Lombardy Poplar on the edge of the property. The tree has suffered with Honey Fungus over the last couple of years and has subsequently died off. The client has planted a replacement Silver Birch tree next to the Maple to replace the amenity value of the tree. Fell to ground level.
