26/00744/TPO - Tree Preservation Order Decided

Proposal

Oak tree covered by an area TPO. A reduction is required to preserve the surrounding properties due to the tree encroaching on boundary gardens. The roots of the tree are already disturbing foundations and causing heave. Suggested reduction of 30%. The impacted tree does not appear to be labelled (or this cannot be identified from documents seen), aerial view of the tree provided. The tree sits within the boundary of 29 Kingsmead, encroaching the neighbouring properties, 47 & 48 Kennett Gardens. Data via plota.co.uk
