    Magnolia grandiflora x 2 - crown thin and reduce by 30% max (repeat of work for which permission was granted April 2017 - application reference 2017/01087/TREE). I am very sorry but I am unable to create a sketch plan on-line. LBH&F have confirmed they received a hard copy application with a sketch plan on 29/1/21 but I have been informed that, because of Covid, I must apply via the Planning Portal. Here is a description of the location of the trees: 6 St Peter's Square faces west. It is next to 5 St Peter's Square to the north and 6 St Peter's Square to the South. Its rear garden backs on to the gardens of the block of flats on the west side of Black Lion Lane and the garden of the end of terrace house to the south of the flats. Both trees are in the walled rear garden of 6 St Peter's Square. One is close to the wall on the north side (the boundary wall between the gardens of 5 and 6) approximately 6.5 metres from the back of the house. The other is close to the wall on the south side (the boundary wall between 6 and 7) approximately 2.5 metres from the end of the back extension.

    Felling of a mature, dead Sycamore tree (T21) located on Land to the Rear of 70 North End Road, subject to Tree Preservation Order TPO/23/7/70. Following a recent inspection of the highway it has been noted that the tree is dead, the crown of which has the potential to fall onto the surrounding highway network managed by TfL. To mitigate this it is intended to remove all crown material and leave as a standing monolith. Works to reduce risk of failure and damage to the highway and its users.

    Pruning of an Ash Tree (T24) in the rear garden, subject to Tree Preservation Order TPO/24/8/70. The South-facing side has had a relatively recent crown reduction, while the north-facing side has been left untreated, with the tree now being severely unbalanced. It is proposed to reduce the north-facing side by reducing all stems by up to 4m to suitable growth points to re-balance and tidy; assess torn limb with large longitudinal scar on inbound side and remove if necessary. All works are for routine maintenance.
