Rear:T2 Holm Oak (Evergreen) x 1 (Quercus ilex) - cut back toward boundary by 3-4m.Reason: Growing from the neighbour's garden and encroaching upon the tenant's garden causing issues with aerial reception.Council Note:On inspection by the Arboricultural Officer and following closer review of Tree Preservation Order 232, the tree identified within the application as T2 Holm Oak does not appear to correspond with a tree protected by TPO 232.The submitted sketch plan, application numbering and stated tree location do not align with the original TPO schedule, mapped TPO locations or current Council GIS records. The protected T6 Evergreen Oak identified within TPO 232 is located elsewhere within the wider Presentation Mews and Bushell Close area and does not correspond with the submitted application tree at 4 Presentation Mews.As the submitted information does not demonstrate that the tree is protected by Tree Preservation Order 232, the application has been withdrawn from determination.
