TfL Ref: FOI-3512-1819

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 21 March 2019.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm we do hold the information you require. You asked:

Please provide all records for work done to a London Plane tree (controlled by Transport for London) and situated to the front of 74 Christchurch Road, London, SW2.  We are interested in records from 2010 -2014 (inclusive). This would include all inspections, maintenance and routine works to the Plane tree.

Please find the attached documents we hold in relation to the tree in question for the years requested.

If a claim is made against TfL regarding our Green Estate, it is our policy that once the decision has been taken to retain the tree, our Arboriculture and Landscape Engineers will make recommendations outside of our normal Annual and Condition Surveys. In this instance it was decided that apart from its yearly inspection, the tree would also be put on a three year pruning cycle instead of the normal five year cycle for a London Plane tree. The last works were completed in November 2017 and the next pruning works are due November 2020 unless any issues are flagged in the meantime during the annual inspection.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
