Crown reduction of ornamental cherry tree in rear garden

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner of 66 Bolingbroke Grove has applied to reduce and prune the crown of an ornamental cherry tree in the rear garden. The work would cut the crown back by about one and a half metres. The property sits within a protected historic area around Wandsworth Common. A protected old building — the Church of St Michael — stands about a minute's walk away. The street has a low number of properties with a direct line of sight to the rear garden, so most neighbours would not see the work directly. This type of tree work in a protected historic area requires the council's permission. Two supporting documents that are usually expected have not been submitted with this application.
