This case has now been decided by Jacob - no preservation order but owner has been persuaded to change the application from fell to crown reduction : Observations: The initial application was to fell the tree, to which we had four objections from members of the public. Upon visiting the site it was clear that the tree offered significant amenity value to the street and had no significant safety problems. After discussion with the applicant it was agreed to change the proposal to the current crown reduction, to which I have no objection. Recommended: Preservation Order NOT REQUIRED

Comment submitted with the suggestion that the tree be TPOed in line with the nearby and similar-sized TPO 265-T1

Tree is large but in good shape. Tree report is perfunctory and claims "Tree needs to be removed as not suitable for area Quite a few fractured limb" - factured limbs not observered, Tree looking healthy in a Street View photo
