Putney Lawn Tennis Club Balmuir Gardens London SW15 6NG

Refused Wandsworth 2021/4573 Works to a T.P.O. Tree

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

TPO 77/1986 - T49 Deodar Cedar: Fell because of 1) danger to life of tennis club members from falling branches 2) danger of accidents to members from slipping on tree detritus falling in tennis courts especially when wet, 3) damage to clubhouse with £7,000 awning being irreparably damaged due to a large falling branch in 2021, 4) low amenity value derived from a single standalone tree in a private and enclosed club. Not proposed to replace due to proximity to clubhouse (approx 2 metres).
