Proposal

Loquat Fruit Tree (T1) to be felled. The tree's roots are causing significant damage to the underground soil pipe connecting 251 Kennington Road to the public network - refer to sewage survey "CCTV1544251." In addition, the tree produces a significant volume of fruit that falls directly onto the adjacent public pedestrian pavement. The scale of the fruit drop creates an ongoing public maintenance issue and potential slip hazard. As a replacement, a silver birch tree (T2) will be planted in the front garden away from the pavement.
