On 1 May 2013, the North London Waste Authority (NLWA) submitted a planning application for "tree works" on the Pinkham Way site. See below - please review this and the comments to date and object. Haringey is still accepting comments on the application regardless of the deadline.

The site is designated as Grade 1 importance for Nature Conservation and is one of only eight sites in Haringey to carry this designation. No recent assessment of the site's ecological potential has been carried out and its importance as a site for nature conservation has not been properly assessed. The inspector of Haringey's Core Strategy particularly recommended that Haringey review these issues in more detail in preparing their development management proposals. 

Any work to trees on the site could erode its ecological value. Previous surveys of Pinkham Way have shown that there are a number of trees that have the potential to be homes to roosting bats and that bats are in fact foraging on the site. No work to trees on the site should therefore be carried out until a full ecological evaluation has been undertaken AND it has been demonstrated beyond doubt that the trees affected are not homes to roosting bats. 

Further guidance from the Pinkham Way Alliance will be issued today.
