Planning application

17A Goldsmith Lane, London, NW9 9AJ

Awaiting decision Brent 26/2181 Conservation Area Tree Notification

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Plum tree in the back garden. Seasonal pruning, to cut back shooter branches and thin out the canopy for better fruit yield. It has finished fruiting for this season and needs to be completed before the weather becomes wetter to prevent plum disease. The tree is approximately 6 metres high to the tip of the tallest shoot and 3 meters width at the widest part. The request is to remove 1 meter to max 1.5 metres of the small shooting branches from the height and 0.5 metre from the width. Plan to use the Red squirrel tree surgery company who are arboricultural association approved so amount might be less to maintain health of the tree.
