Barnet Council confirmed a Tree Preservation Order for an oak tree with veteran features in March 2026.

Barnet Council's Planning Committee confirmed a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) in March 2026 for a mature oak tree at 64 Kingsley Way, London N2 0EW. This decision was made despite objections from the landowner, to protect the tree which council officers identified as having veteran tree features.

Council officers described veteran tree features as characteristics such as a natural shape and form, a prominent and extensive longitudinal wound, and degraded deadwood along a cavity, which contribute to its significant ecological and visual amenity value. No further discussions or decisions are currently scheduled on this topic.
