Proposal

Tree Preservation Order 29 (1975) Clapham Road T10 Sycamore (Frontage at 393): Frontage: T1, Sycamore, reduction and removal of significant dead wood. From 14m in height reduced by 4m to 10m in height and from 13m canopy spread by 3m to a 10m canopy spread. Back Garden: T2, Sycamore, self seeded, removal due to proximity to boundary wall, less than 0.5m. T3, Sycamore, reduction from 7m in height by 2m to 5m, and from a 8m canopy spread by 3m to a final canopy spread of 5m. Council Note: Tree Preservation Order 29 (1975), Clapham Road protects T10 Sycamore located to the frontage of 393 Clapham Road only. The submitted T2 Sycamore and T3 Sycamore do not correspond with trees protected by this Order. The Council's TPO assessment is limited to the proposed works to T10 Sycamore. The Council raises no objection to the proposed works to T2 and T3 in Conservation Area terms and does not intend to make a Tree Preservation Order in response to those works. Data via plota.co.uk
