Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 Sycamore, rear garden - Removal. Within this small garden the tree has outgrown its setting and is incompatible with the scale and intended use of the space. Does not respond well to repeated or heavy pruning. Ongoing crown reduction would be required to contain the tree, resulting in poor form, increased maintenance and reduced long term health and structural integrity. This would not represent good arboricultural practice and would shorten the tree lifespan. Given the species, position and limited space, retention is not appropriate or sustainable. low public amenity value. Removal would not harm the visual quality, historic character or wider landscape setting of the Conservation Area.

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.
