2 Spencer Park SW18 2SX

Awaiting decision Wandsworth 2026/3248 Works to a T.P.O. Tree

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

T1 Mimosa (x1) Fell to ground level. Reason: The tree has become excessively large for the location. It is suppressing smaller adjacent trees. The trunk is also pressing against the boundary wall with No.59 Spencer Park and is likely to cause damage if retained. T2 + T3 Himalayan Birch (x2) Crown lift by 1.5m. Reason: To allow more light to the plants below. T4 Cherry (x1) Reduce crown by 1.5m. Reason: To redress the balance as supressed by the Birches. T5 Paulownia (x1) Crown lift by 1.5m. Reason: To allow more light to the plants below.
