Tree Preservation Order No. 520 (2025) T1 Sycamore.Tree Works Submitted:Fell 1 No. front garden sycamore tree causing damage to drainage system in addition to the following issues raised at point of survey, please see supporting docs etc. attachedExtensive crown dieback, evidence of poor pollardingpractice, root damage from encroachinginfrastructure, including gas and sewage pipesthrough RPA. Tree has outgrown location, causingshading and structural impacts on neighbouringproperties and public realm.There is a problem with the water pipe and now the bushes have been removed, you can see the extent of it. Pic attached. You can't access the pipes without damaging the treeWe already have the feedback from Thames Water that we're losing 5-8 litre an hour. The main objective is actually to fix the pipe work under the tree which we can't access it without cutting back the roots and one of them is significant. The other objective is to replace the pipe work since it's a lead pipe which isn't good for obvious health reasons. Therefore, between the leak and the lead pipe we need to access and repair / replace the pipe work. (see attached pics)
