Awaiting decision Hammersmith and Fulham P/2026/02174/TREE Works to Tree(s) in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Rear T2 Gleditsia spp x 1 This large tree is growing directly over where the children play and due to the deadwood is a hazard. It is also encroaching on the cherry trees and the building. Suggested work: Remove all deadwood. Clear to give at least 1.5m clearance from the building. Reduce limb over hanging the cherries by approx. 2m to suitable growth points. Rear entrance T6 Ash x 1 (Fraxinus excelsior) This tree has outgrown its pruning cycle and has started to encroach on the entrance gate. Suggested works: Reduce away from the gate giving at least 1.5m clearance.
