Planning application
25, Baring Street, London, N1 3DJ
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
We are seeking permission to remove the single Manna Ash tree (1) (Fraxinus ornus) in our front garden of 25 Baring Street. The tree is planted just 1.7m (to trunk centre) from the front elevation and can grow up to 25m in height. The RHS recommends that Manna Ash trees should be planted at least 20m from buildings due to the tree's potential for significant root spread and high water uptake which can pose a risk to foundations. A Structural Engineer's report provided with the application recommends removal to prevent future structural issues. Google Street View confirms the alarming speed with which the tree has grown. Our intention is to replace the tree with a more suitable species, such as a blossom tree on dwarfing root stock.
