26/01060/TPO - Tree Preservation Order Withdrawn

Proposal

T.4 Oak - 2-3m Holistic crown reduction providing 2m clearance from house, crown lift to 4m from ground level and deadwood. T.5 Maple - 20% Crown reshape, crown lift to 4m from ground level and deadwood. T.2 Scotts pine - Remove dead branches at lower levels. Reduce crown of tree which is competing with crown of adjacent Scotts Pine situated in adjoins property. T.1 Lawson Cypress - fell tree and replace with tree further away from rear of property. ( This application was granted consent on 14/10/2020 but never actioned within the timetable prescribed by the consent). The reasons for remove of the tree are: It is a foreign fast growing evergreen tree which is not typically subject to a TPO. The tree has grown rapidly over the last few years and now overpowers the garden. Due to its thick foliage it is blocking out the sun from the back garden of the house and stops most plants from growing in the garden. It is very close to the house and blocks out the light coming into the windows. As the tree continues to grow there is a strong possibility that it will cause damage to the structure of the house. There are two Scotts Pines and a Sycamore tree in the same rear garden. The Lawson Cypress has no real amenity value. Situated in the back garden it is not readily visible from Corkran Road so its removal will not damage the streetscape of the Road. The plot of 27 Corkran Road has a number of trees which provide much higher amenity value. These include: a mature oak tree, a mature Canadian Maple, 2 Scots Pines which is an old and attractive tree. The Lawson Cypress has no real amenity value.

Site constraints 7

Southborough Conservation Area 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.
Air quality management area: Kingston upon Thames 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.
Council record ↗
Protected tree 10 m away: LAWSON CYPRESS, order 1
Named in a tree preservation order: work to it, its roots included, needs the council's consent first.
Root protection areas reach up to 15 m from a large tree, so an extension or new foundations this close usually needs a tree survey. Only some councils publish their single trees, and a position can be approximate: the order at the council is the definitive record, and no tree shown is not proof there is none.
