MOUNTACRE CLOSE, SYDENHAM HILL, LONDON, SE26 6SX
FRONT: ONE Laurel S1 FELL. FRONT: ONE Maple T1 Maple FELL Reason: The large shrub and tree have been implicated in subsidence of rear left projection, Category 0, negligible, of the neighbouring property. The County of London (Lewisham No.2) Tree Preservation Order, 1957 (Dome Hill Park, Sydenham Hill) Informative: it is greatly appreciated that the management of the trees is sensitive to the wooded landscape of Sydenham Hill within the Upper Sydenham Special Character Area. As the trees are considered in the Arboriculture Survey to be younger than the property c.1964, they are unlikely to have been growing at the time the area TPO was made in 1957. Therefore while they are within the TPO area A1, they are likely not to be technically protected by the TPO.
