Planning application

Brondesbury Court, 235 Willesden Lane, Willesden, London, NW2 5RR

Refused Brent 24/2427 Tree Application - TPO

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

T1 London Plane: the large lower limb to be removed would leave a significant wound which would be likely to impact on the health of the tree. The crown reduction is not detailed or justified. T2 Sycamore: no reasons are given for the work T5 Sycamore: no reasons are given for the work T7 Yew: no justification for the work and no evidence regarding damage to adjacent building T8-T13 Limes: it is not clear the extent of re-pollarding proposed as this group of trees do not appear to have been pollarded recently, with only some minor regrowth at the very top. Any proposed work would need to be detailed with measurements. T21 Cedar: removal of ripped stem would cause more damage to tree, should just leave as it is. T17 Leyland cypress no reason to lift canopy.
