Dear Residents,

 

Following investigations as part of Lambeth council’s normal tree management practices, this Norway Maple tree has been conclusively implicated in subsidence related damage to property, and regrettably, will be removed to prevent further damage.

 

Please note that as part of our policy to not remove healthy trees wherever possible, all other reasonable mitigation measures, such as a crown reduction, were evaluated and in this instance have been deemed unsuitable.

 

Yours sincerely,
