If a tree owned by Haringey Council (on land listed in the above locations) is causing damage to your property, you must contact your own insurance company. They will provide arboricultural and technical evidence as well as any structural evidence of building damage in support of any potential claim. These reports should be marked for the attention of:

Insurance Department
Haringey Council
Alexandra House
Station Road
London N22 4TR

Privately Owned Trees

If the tree is on privately owned land then the maintenance rests entirely with the landowner. If the tree is causing damage to your property you must contact the tree’s owner directly.

Tree Works

Before you begin work on any tree, you must always find out if it is covered by any Tree Preservation Orders (TPO). If the tree is protected, you will need written consent to carry out the work. If written consent is not obtained, and work is carried out on a protected tree, the owner or person carrying out the work may be prosecuted and fined up to £20,000.

If you want to report unauthorised work being carried out to a protected tree, please call or email the Planning Department’s Enforcement Team:
