Planning application
Oakley House 2 Chesham Close London NW7 4AF
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
1 x English Oak - Reduce the tree by 3m all over (this will include dead wood higher in the crown) to prevent encroachment on properties. Reduce over the car port of 2 Chesham Close. Remove dead wood from the tree. Refrain from working near the potential roosting features highlighted in Palecologys survey to help retain PRFs for bats. This will include retaining some larger dead wood close to those PRFs. Standing in T7 of Tree Preservation Order.
