T1 Oak: Reduce by approx. 2-3m in height and spread. Oak tree has Pseudoinonotus dryadeus and extensive severe basal hollowing. I propose to reduce the overall size and sail of the tree by reducing by 2-3m in height and spread. It would be the old scaffolding growth that is removed. There is a lot of new healthy growth forming a secondary crown. T2 Cedar: Lift above outbuildings by approx. 2m to clear buildings.

PL/1180/26 Status unknown
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.
