  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. For a copy of the provisional TPO, or to make representations, please email [email protected]

  T1 & T2 - Two limes - crown Reduce height by 2m from 12m to 10m. Reduce laterals by 1.5m from 6m to 4.5m on all compass points, cutting back to the previous reduction points. Both are semi-mature limes standing to the rear of the property. The trees have been reduced previously and the regrowth from those earlier cuts has extended beyond the established points, carrying increasing end-weight on the resulting unions and taking the crown out of proportion with its position over the garden, the adjoining boundaries and the neighbouring buildings. The proposed works return the crown to the existing reduction points, in line with the works proposed for T3 and T4, retaining the tree in full along with its established shape and its contribution to the publicly visible canopy. T3 & T4 - Two limes - crown reduce Reduce height by 3m from 18m to 15m. Reduce laterals by 2m from 7m to 5m on all compass points, cutting back to the previous reduction points. Two mature limes standing to the rear of the property, one of a pair with T4. The trees has been reduced previously and is managed on a maintenance cycle; the regrowth from those earlier cuts has now extended well beyond the established points and is carrying increasing end-weight on the resulting unions, which are the weakest part of the structure. The proposed works return the crown to the existing reduction points, retaining the established shape and form of the tree and keeping it in proportion to its position over the garden and the adjoining boundaries.
