Planning application

18 Blake Gardens, London, SW6 4QB

Awaiting decision Hammersmith and Fulham 2024/03016/TREE Works to Tree(s) in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

The tree under discussion is a mature syringa vulgaris (white) lilac located in the REAR Garden of 18 Blake Gardens, Fulham, London, SW6 4QB. The tree was planted in the 1960s by the previous owner of the house. Originally the tree had a Rubens Montana clematis planted through it which had become very overgrown and was choking the tree. The clematis has now been removed, but the lilac has several dead branches and has become very misshapen as a result. The current application seeks to prune and reshape the tree removing the dead and rotting areas to restore it to health. The tree is marked on the attached location plan numbered 1 Lilac Tree. Also attached are three photographs of the tree. numbered Lilac tree 1,2,& 3.
