Planning application
Flat 1, 140 Hornsey Lane, London, N6 5NS
Works: Trees
Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.
Proposal
Tree species - Sycamore Tree TPO reference number 29/T6 TPO title Highview (2) TPO 1977 Location: CENTRE OF REAR GARDEN ADJACENT TO WEST BOUNDARY Tree species - Sycamore Tree TPO reference number 29/T7 TPO title Highview (2) TPO 1977 Location: TOWARD SOUTHWEST CORNER OF REAR GARDEN ADJACENT TO WEST BOUNDARY Works to be carried out on T6 & T7 Crown Reduction: Reduce the overall crown by up to 30% (approximately 2–3 meters), ensuring a balanced and natural shape is maintained. Crown Lifting: Remove lower branches to achieve a clearance of 3 meters above ground level, improving light penetration. Deadwood Removal: Eliminate all dead, dying, or diseased branches to promote tree health and safety. Justification for Works: The tree's current size is disproportionate to the garden space, leading to excessive shading of the property and neighboring gardens. Lower branches obstruct pathways, posing a hazard to residents and visitors. Deadwood presents a risk of falling branches, which could cause injury or property damage.
