4 Lyons Place, London, NW8 8NL

2 lime trees located to the west of the Allen Stand and north of Lords Tavern, by the Grace Gate entrance from St John's Wood Road. These trees are noted as T7 and T8 on attached plans and reports. Roots belonging to both trees were severed during excavations for service trenches associated with construction of the Allen Stand on site. Static load tests were carried out to both trees in April 2026, which flagged T7 as having an insufficient safety factor. T7 was therefore recommended for a 3m reduction in height to reduce the risk of failure. Due to T7 and T8 forming a continuous canopy, T8 has also been recommended for the same specification of reduction to prevent exposing its crown to excessive wind loading.

Repairs to the roof following storm damage, including removal of material applied between the rafters; replacement of failed non-original man-made slates with natural slate; repair and renewal of deteriorated lead valleys and perimeter details; and renewal of the upper flat roof covering using timber and lead as appropriate, with the existing roof form and external appearance retained.

Installation of two air conditioning condenser units at main roof level, with associated anti-vibration mounts and external refrigerant trunking to the rear elevation.
