    Received 24 Aug 2026
  3. FINAL DECISIONP2026/1634/TRE

    We wish to fell the Tree of Heaven (T1 on the Sketch Plan) entirely and replace it with small bushes/foliage. The tree is on private property in front of our 7-flat building. It has become a threat to the integrity of the building and a nuisance to flats. All seven flat owners (acting as directors for the Woodville Arms Management Company, which manages the building) agree to the removal. The tree was self-seeded some years ago in the front-yard area of the building. It has grown very large and is causing concerns about the integrity of the building’s foundations. It is immediately adjacent to a structural wall alongside a lightwell and we can see that the roots have started to move the paved foundation of the front-yard. The tree is also a nuisance to flats with windows behind it as it is so close to the building that the branches touch windows and provide complete shade for at least half the year. It also keeps producing extremely fast-growing and invasive offshoots, both in the front-yard and other parts of the street. The species of the replacement bushes/foliage have not been decided upon yet, but we are looking at planting a bushy variety of no more than 2 meters high in the same place as the tree removed.
