Proposal
LAND BOUNDED BY LAMBETH HIGH STREET TO THE WEST, WHITGIFT STREET TO THE NORTH, SOUTHBANK HOUSE TO THE SOUTH AND THE RAILWAY VIADUCTS TO THE EAST: G1 Ash: CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by approximately 4m and reshape crown. Trees are self-set and encroaching over the roadway. Council Note: The Section 211 notice is registered as River Station Pier, Lambeth River Fire Station, Albert Embankment, SE1 7SD. The submitted plan identifies the notified Ash group on the inland site, opposite 71 Black Prince Road. The wider site has previously been described in the planning history as land bounded by Lambeth High Street to the west, Whitgift Street to the north, Southbank House to the south and the railway viaducts to the east. The registered notice address does not accurately identify the location of the notified trees.

8 x Birch - Crown reduce the height by 20% (approx. 2m) Crown reduce the spread to balance and shape (approx. 1m) Crown thin by 10% and remove dead wood Maintenance works in line with good arboricultural practice 2 x Dead Birch - Cut entire as close to ground level as practically possible The trees are situated in a resin-bond and therefore bringing the trees down to the same level may not be possible Council Note : The site is not within a Conservation Area and the Section 211 notification procedure does not apply. The TCA record is therefore withdrawn and no decision is made under Section 211. Lambeth Council made provisional TPO No. 536 2026 on 19 June 2026 in respect of trees at the site. Any proposed works to trees covered by the Order now require a formal TPO application.
