26/02040/TPO - Approval for works to TPO trees Withdrawn

Proposal

Front Garden T1-Lime Remove all epicormic and low level growth to crown break to clear obstruction over footpath. To allow retention of the tree within the available space for growth Crown lifting/removing low growth to maintain the statutory heights over footpaths and highways It is the cause of unreasonable shade to the front elevation of the surrounding area. Council Note: Council Note: Following examination of Council records and a site inspection, the Council has administratively withdrawn application 26/02040/TPO as the lime tree at 75C Effra Road is not subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) and is not situated within a Conservation Area. TPO , T1 (Lime), protects a separate tree at neighbouring 77 Effra Road and does not apply to the application tree. Accordingly, formal consent is not required for the proposed works, and no substantive determination has been made. Data via plota.co.uk
