50 Alexandra Drive London SE19 1AN

Granted Lambeth 21/01777/TPO Approval for works to TPO trees

Proposal

T1 Oak, remove deadwood, crossing branches and sprouts. Lift canopy by removing medium size limb of approximately 20cm diameter and several lower branches of approximately 8-10cm diameter. The tree is very large and just needs a maintenance prune to improve its amenity value. The lift will allow more light into neighbouring property.
