REAR GARDEN: T1 Weeping Silver Lime. FELL TO GROUND LEVEL. Reason: Ongoing root-related displacement and lifting of paving adjacent to the rear elevation, causing damage to hard surfacing and a trip hazard. Previous pruning has not resolved the issue. Similar neighbouring trees have been removed due to equivalent root-related impacts, including ref. 21/00781/TCA. Council Note: On 14th August Lambeth Council made a provisional Tree Preservation Order (TPO No. TPO 538/2026. The Order takes effect immediately and remains provisional for up to six months unless confirmed by the Council (whichever occurs first). Before the Council decides whether to confirm the Order, any person affected by the Order has the right to make objections or other representations about any of the trees covered by the Order.
