West Hill Wandsworth SW15 3SR

T33 & T32 [TPO68/1985] Statement of Reasons for Tree Preservation Order Application to fell and treat stumps with eco plugs x2 Plane trees (T1 & T2 on associated report) at: Land adjacent (to the front of) 158-160 West Hill, London SW15 3SR TPO Ref: TPO No.68 Order, 1985 1. The above tree works are proposed as a remedy to the differential foundation movement at the insured property and to ensure the long-term stability of the building. 2. The above tree works are proposed to limit the extent and need for expensive and disruptive engineering repair works at the insured property. In this instance the estimated repair costs are likely to vary between �19,750 and �250,000, depending upon whether the tree/s can be removed or must remain. 3. The above tree works are proposed to limit the duration of any claim period and therefore allow the landowner their right to the peaceful enjoyment of their property. 4. It is the case that an alternative to felling such as pruning or significant pollarding of the tree would not provide a reliable or sustainable remedy to the subsidence in this case. We do not consider that any other potential means of mitigation, including root barriers, would be effective or appropriate in the circumstances. 5. We are satisfied that the evidence obtained following completion of our Arboricultural Implication Assessment report completed 24/02/2022, clearly links the Plane trees as the cause of damage to the risk address 6. Insurers understanding the requirement to offer replacement planting in the event consent to fell is granted. Emma Whytefield Mitigation Co-Ordinator PRI Insurance Services.
