Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Front Garden T1 - Ash Remove limb overshadowing dual carriageway and reduce remainder of tree by up to 2 metres to form prunative shape. T1 is an ash tree located on the front boundary of 20 the avenue, please see attached map. The tree is overhanging the dual carriageway and TFL have instructed that the tree is dealt with as it is a major health and safety risk for the buses which are starting to touch the tree as they pass it. Recommended works will abate the problem.
