49 Lansdowne Gardens London SW8 2EL
The London Borough of Lambeth (Tree Preservation Order No. 15 Lansdowne Gardens and 12 Guildford Road 1969,: Confirmed 1970). T22 Horse Chestnut. Back Garden: 1 x Horse Chestnut (T1): Fell. Reason: The horse chestnut is in poor overall condition and removal is recommended for the following reasons: - Decline from cyclical pruning: The tree has been subject to repeated heavy pruning, resulting in poor regrowth and a suppressed crown form. - Aesthetic decline: The tree is heavily disfigured and further impacted by infestation of horse chestnut leaf miner (Cameraria ohridella), which causes extensive leaf damage and significantly reduces amenity value. - Reduced vigour: The tree displays very low vitality and limited capacity for recovery, indicating ongoing physiological decline. - Structural issues: The tree is leaning and has begun to crack the adjacent wall, creating potential for further damage. - Site constraints: The rooting area is restricted, further contributing to poor condition and long-term unsuitability for retention.
