TCP/0467/26 - Trees Pending Consideration
Trees & landscaping

Proposal

1 x Weeping Willow (applicants ref. T1) - Reduce the density by pollarding at previous pruning points, including the removal of dead wood, lifting of low branches, and the necessary re-shaping of the tree. The height may be reduced by removing the vertical growth in the upper crown whilst retaining the natural weeping shape, it is important to prune branches at convenient growth points where possible. 1 x Cherry (applicants ref. T2) - Reduce the density by crown thinning approximately 20% including the removal of dead wood, lifting of low branches, and the necessary shaping of the tree, ensuring the height and basic shape is retained. It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted. 1 x Magnoliam (applicants ref. T3) - Reduce the density by crown thinning approximately 20% including the removal of dead wood, lifting of low branches, and the necessary shaping of the tree, ensuring the height and basic shape is retained. It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 6

Hampstead Garden Suburb conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
2 Article 4 directions
Article 4 Small Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) Area 1 · Article 4 for Hampstead Garden Suburb CA Area 1. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Air quality management area: Barnet AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
