2026/2563 - Works to a T.P.O. Tree NEW

Proposal

T1: Large Cherry (Prunus spp.) x 2 - Carry out a crown reduction of the two large Cherry trees, reducing the overall canopy by approximately 1.5 metres back to suitable secondary growth points throughout each crown. Works shall also include a light selective crown thin, removing a limited proportion of secondary branchwork to improve light penetration and air circulation whilst retaining the natural form, structure and healthy furnishing growth of each tree. Thinning shall be sympathetic in nature and shall not alter the overall shape or amenity value of the trees. T2: Cherry (Prunus sp.) - Carry out a crown reduction of the Cherry tree, reducing the overall canopy by approximately 1.0 metre back to suitable secondary growth points. Works shall also include a light selective crown thin to improve crown density and air movement whilst maintaining the tree's natural form, balance and healthy furnishing growth. No excessive internal thinning shall be undertaken. T3: Holly (Ilex aquifolium) - Carry out a crown reduction of the Holly, reducing the overall height by approximately 2.0 metres, before reshaping the canopy to create a balanced, symmetrical and well-proportioned specimen. Works shall be undertaken selectively to suitable growth points, maintaining healthy foliage cover and the natural character of the tree. T4: Yew (Taxus baccata) - Carry out a crown reduction of the Yew, reducing the overall height by approximately 2.5 metres, followed by a full reshape to create a neat, balanced and uniform specimen. Works shall be undertaken selectively, pruning back to suitable growth points whilst retaining healthy furnishing growth and the natural form of the tree. All works shall be carried out in accordance with - Tree Work Recommendations. All timber, brash and associated arisings shall be removed from site and disposed of responsibly, leaving the site clean, tidy and free from debris upon completion.

Site constraints 9

Oxford Road conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
National infrastructure project: Thames Tideway Tunnel
The site is inside the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Archaeological priority area
An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.
The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.
Air quality management area: Wandsworth AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
