Re: Tree Related Subsidence at - The Tithe Barn, Old Church Lane, Stanmore, Middlesex, HA7 2QU Notice under s.211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 of intent to Fell and treat stump of one Lime tree T3 at The Tithe Barn, Old Church Lane, Stanmore, Middlesex, HA7 2QU We write in reference to our site survey of 21/05/2020 and confirm that we are the arboriculturists appointed on behalf of property insurers of the above risk address. It is the view of chartered engineers appointed to investigate damage that the property has suffered differential movement and subsequent damage consistent with tree related clay shrinkage subsidence. Further to discussions with the Structural Engineer who is assessing the required remedial works for the property, we are of the opinion that it is preferable to remove the implicated trees. This is because retaining the trees and implementing an engineered solution cannot happen without having serious effect on their root systems which are influencing the structure of the risk address. This submission consists of a formal notification under Conservation Area Regulations of our intention to remove the trees as mentioned above which we believe are not protected under any Tree Preservation Order. Whilst insurers have no requirement to submit prescribed levels of supporting evidence in relation to a Conservation Area notification, we are enclosing copies of relevant technical reports, in the attached Appendices, as itemised below: 1. A site plan, survey tables and photographs which locates vegetation that is the subject of this notification. 2. Level monitoring readings 3. Engineers Reports 4. Site investigation report We have demonstrated, from the evidence detailed above, two tests in line with current case law that show: 1. Tree roots were present underside of foundations: . Positive Tilia root ID . Crack Monitoring showing cyclical movement 2. Damage to the insured's property has resulted from tree related subsidence: . History and t

25 Dennis Lane, Stanmore, Harrow, HA7 4JS
I am seeking consent to remove both Lawson Cypresses by felling the trees, including removing any root above ground level. The main reason for wanting to fell Tree Number T11 with TPO Number 520 is the safety risk it poses. The tree’s root system is actively causing physical damage to my property as the roots are uplifting driveway slabs, creating uneven surfaces. This has introduced a clear trip hazard, posing a risk to residents and visitors. The displacement appears to be ongoing, indicating that damage will likely worsen over time if the tree remains.
