Works to tree protected by a TPO. Sycamore - Crown reduce the height and spread back to the previous reduction points (approx. 30%) height approx. 2.5m and spread approx. 2.0m Remove dead wood The tree is situated on unregistered/ownerless land adjacent to our residential block and is causing ongoing damage to essential drainage infrastructure. The root system has infiltrated the sewage pit serving the building and is interfering with the float mechanism of the sewage lifting pump. This has already resulted in operational issues, including the pump cutting out. In February 2026, a contractor removed a significant quantity of roots from the chamber and advised that further root ingress is likely due to the proximity and size of the tree. Continued root growth presents a risk of pump failure and potential sewage backflow, with associated health and property damage implications. The proposed 30% crown reduction is intended as a proportionate management measure to reduce the tree’s water demand and vigour, thereby helping to limit further root encroachment, while retaining the tree and its amenity value.
