T1: The silver birch tree is damaging the surrounding original paving and pathways, causing cracking and upheaval, and its roots are also a concern for the under-garden vaults below and are a likely cause of the ingress of water to these areas. There is the likelihood further damage to these vaults and pathways if left unaddressed.T2: The Elder is a young self-sown tree that is growing right against the boundary wall between 23 and 24 Lewes Crescent, causing damage to the wall and the pathway in the garden of 23 Lewes Crescent. As with T1, its roots are also likely to be causing problems with water ingress into the under garden vaults below.We are applying to remove both of these trees before we do any further work to the garden and vaults below. Please see attached a sketch plan.
