15 Sutton Place, Hackney, London, E9 6EH
Tree species - 2x established common Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) - age unknown, the trees stand alone and are not part of any . Proposed works - both trees require a canopy prune back to a historic pollard line at approx +12 to 15 meters (pollard created at some point in the past - there is no information or record as to when this pollard took place). The prune is required to maintain the health of both trees and to ensure both trees are safe and stable as both trees are in proximity to buildings and the pruning works are to ensure sufficient clearance to both a private residence (15 Sutton Place), and a public space and building in the National Trust owned neighbouring property, Sutton House. In addition there is a need to prune back a substantive ivy growth to one of the trees - for information the intention is not to eradicate the ivy. Note that the trees are in a conservation area. We are not aware of any Tree Preservation Order attached to either trees. For information both trees are visible from the public highway but not adjacent to.
