Awaiting decision Lambeth 26/02044/TCA Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

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 submitted sketch plan correctly identifies the notified trees as G1 on the inland site, opposite 71 Black Prince Road. The notice was registered under River Station Pier, Lambeth River Fire Station, Albert Embankment, SE1 7SD, which does not accurately describe the location of the notified trees. Following an officer site inspection, G1 was identified as three multi-stem Trees of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), rather than Ash as stated in the notice.

The TCA record is therefore withdrawn and no decision is made under Section 211.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.

    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.

    T1 Robinia sp. (x1) Reduce crown by 2.5-3m off height and width. Reason: Lost two stems in October. The branches had weak unions with the old pollard head, causing them to fail under their own weight. T2 Robinia sp. (x1) Reduce crown by 1.5m all around. Reason: To lessen the load on the crown. T3 Robinia sp. (x1) Reduce crown by 1m all around. Reason: To lessen the load on the crown.
