Bakewell
pleads for tree to be cut back
BROADCASTER Joan Bakewell says a neighbours
tree is undermining her Primrose Hill house and she wants
it cut back.
The Radio 4 stalwart has warned Town Hall planning officials
that the plane tree caused major damage to her Chalcot
Square home in 1993, which required major structural repairs
and underpinning.
The tree, in a garden in Gloucester Avenue which backs onto
Ms Bakewells home, is protected by a preservation order
and the council has refused previous applications to chop it
down.
Neighbours have until Tuesday to object to the latest plan,
which would see it thinned and cut back.
Neither 73-year-old Ms Bakewell nor her neighbour could be contacted
as the New Journal went to press. |
