Felling of one holly tree proposed at residential address in Wandsworth

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner of a house on Girdwood Road has applied to fell a single holly tree. The applicant states the tree is in an unsuitable location and is being suppressed by a larger adjacent tree. The property sits within the Sutherland Grove protected historic area, which means tree work requires council permission. The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability is a few minutes' walk away, and several places of worship are also close by. Because the street has low visibility between properties — only a small number of homes have a direct line of sight to the site — the visual impact of losing the tree is likely limited to a handful of nearby neighbours.
