8 Southern Road, Hornsey, London, N2 9LE
Works to tree protected by a TPO. The tree is a mature oak situated in the read garden of the property. The tree has been managed by crown reduction historically in accordance with granted planning applications HGY/2015/0588 and HGY/2019/2877 (for example) and the proposed works are a repeat of those previously permitted. A site visit was not previously deemed necessary in order to determine the appropriateness of the proposed works. Proposal: T1: Oak: Full crown reduction by 2-3m up to the previous pollard points as part of regular maintenance and to keep the tree at a size suitable for it's location. Issues: Due to the presence of other trees within the back-garden areas and the rear garden setting, the pruning of the tree will have minimal/neutral impact on the public amenity. Although some of the tree's crown will be removed, resulting in temporary canopy cover loss, the proposed tree works are consistent with previous tree management and comply with good arboricultural management. All works to confirm with BS3998 standards.
