Overview

Havering Council is consulting on the removal of six trees: 

Location Reference Number Reason for removal

Behind 37 Spingate Close, Hornchurch RM12 6SW

TR000028977 - TR000028982

Leyland Cypress.

Following resident enquiries regarding:

  • Damage to a patio/fence.

Fence cannot be effectively repaired without the removal of the trees.

Whilst not an immediate danger, these trees have proven to be a cause of ongoing damage to property, and as such are likely to pose an increasing risk over the coming years.

We aim to replace all trees that we need to remove once funding allows, assuming replacement is appropriate to the location.

We would like to have your comments on these proposals. You can do this by completing our consultation or by submitting a representation in writing to:

Tree Team, Town Hall, Main Road, Romford, RM1 3BB

Email: trees@havering.gov.uk

Please make sure you quote the unique reference number for the relevant tree and your representation arrives no later than 26 December 2025.

The trees in question can be found by visiting Havering Council's Report an Issue with a Tree - Starter Portal  and using the location as the reference.
