Christine Garabedian, Hampstead, writes:
This letter is a plea for all of us to put pressure on legislators to change the out-of-date current planning regulations and policies which allow the felling of precious trees in private gardens in our Conservation Area in Hampstead and beyond, on the grounds that they are not “visible” by the public, and therefore not worthy of a Tree Protection Order (TPO).
Camden Council’s Planning Team and Tree Officers are allowing the felling of this beautiful blossoming cherry tree in a rear garden in Hampstead, a Conservation Area, on the grounds that “it is not visible to the public” and therefore not worthy of a TPO.
