Description

Front Garden: White Mulberry. Crown reduce to balance the crown and reduce end loading on lateral limbs. Install props to support lower limbs and the overall structure of the tree. Council Note: The White Mulberry is not protected by TPO 134 1978. Under application 25/03205/TPO, the Council confirmed that only T6 Common Lime and T7 Horse Chestnut fall within Area A1 and are protected by the Order. As the site lies within CA12 Streatham Park Garrads Road Conservation Area, the works have been considered under section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The Council raises no objection and does not propose to make a Tree Preservation Order in respect of this tree. This decision does not grant consent for works to any tree protected by TPO 134.
