Description

Rear Garden:1 x Pear (T1): crown reduction by approx 40% to regenerate unhealthy looking areas of crown. Height from 4.0m to 2.4m. Crown Spread from 3.0m to 1.8mRear Garden:1 x Lime (T2): section fell to ground level. Height 15.0m. Crown spread 7.0m. Reason: (1) The size of the lime is too large and unsuitable for a garden. (2) Its close proximity (less than 10 cm) from the brick boundary wall, for which the council is responsible, threatens the integrity of the wall's structure and stability. (3) The number of dead branches also pose a threat to visitors to Slade Gardens, as several of them also hang over the public area. There are also a number of dead branches which hang over our garden as well, including close to a glass greenhouse. (4) There are very large sycamores on the public side of the wall which have not been maintained or pruned by the council, resulting in a dense cluster of trees and branches. (5) The large size of crown blocks most light from the pear tree, which has been significantly stunted as a result.Note:Tree T2 Lime is protected as T35 Lime under the London Borough of Lambeth (Stockwell Park) Tree Preservation Order No. 19 (1969). Consent for the proposed works to T2/35 Lime is refused.Tree T1 (Pear) is not included within the Order but lies within the Stockwell Park Conservation Area (CA5). The Council therefore accepts this element of the application as a valid Section 211 Notice of Intent to Carry Out Works to Trees in a Conservation Area and raises no objection to the proposed reduction works to the Pear.
