14 Highbury Road, Wimbledon, Merton, SW19 7PR
Proposal
T1 LIME (X1) - FELL TO GROUND LEVEL. REASON: STAND-ALONE TREE, IN THE WAY OF PROPOSED BIN STORES WHICH ARE BEING BUILT AS PART OF THE PROPERTY REFURBISHMENT (SEE SITE PLAN). MERTON PLANNING DEPARTMENT HAVE REQUESTED THE BIN STORE BE POSITIONED 50CM AWAY FROM THE BOUNDARY WALL, BUT THE LIME IS STANDING IN THE WAY. A MATURE HOLM OAK NEXT TO IT, ON THE NEIGHBOUR’S PROPERTY, IS A GOOD QUALITY SPECIMEN WHICH MITIGATES THE LOSS. IT ALSO SUPPRESSES THE LIME, WHICH IS GROWING UNDERNEATH ITS CANOPY. X2 SILVER BIRCH TREES WILL BE PLANTED IN THE FRONT GARDEN AS PART OF THE REDESIGN, AS WELL AS MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORAS BEING PLANTED IN THE BACK GARDEN.
