  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.
