What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

88 Sandy Lane Teddington
Sycamore Tree - raise the canopy of the tree - as it is blocking light and also due to bad weather some of the lower branches are dropping due to old age and also possible rotting 1. The Location Plan Map attached from google maps. However, it looks like an outdated version as we now have a new building next to us which took 2 years to build. So, the tree is even bigger than on the image. The tree is a mature Sycamore. It is physically rooted in the rear garden of 88 Sandy Lane, Teddington, TW11 0DF. The tree's canopy extends substantially over the boundary fence into the rear garden of the applicant at 94 Sandy Lane, TW11 0DF. I have drawn a circle in blue of the perimeter of the canopy of the tree where the trunk sits in number 88's garden. 2. Description of Proposed Works & Methodology Proposed Works: > * Lateral crown reduction of the overhanging canopy on the eastern side of T1 (Sycamore) by up to 2.5 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points, to clear the boundary line of 94 Sandy Lane. • Crown lift the overhanging canopy to 4 metres above ground level by removing lower secondary and tertiary branches. • Complete removal of all dead, dying, or structurally compromised wood within the overhanging canopy section. Methodology: > * All tree works are to be carried out in strict accordance with BS 3998:2010 (Tree Work – Recommendations). Pruning cuts will be made cleanly just outside the branch collar using sterile, sharp hand tools to minimize the risk of decay or disease transmission to the parent tree. 3. Justification for the Works Arboricultural Justification: • Health and Safety: The overhanging canopy contains deadwood and rotting branches that are actively failing and falling into the garden of 94 Sandy Lane, posing a direct safety hazard to the occupants and limiting the safe use of the garden. Removing this deadwood is necessary for risk mitigation. • Property Encroachment & Shading: The lateral growth of the Sycamore has become excessively overgrown, completely dominating the rear aspect of 94 Sandy Lane and causing severe, unreasonable suppression of natural light. • Balanced Management: The proposed minor lateral reduction and crown lifting will effectively manage the encroachment and restore ambient light to the affected property, without detrimentally impacting the overall structural health, stability, or visual amenity value of the tree within the local area.

26 Onslow Avenue Richmond TW10 6QB
See attached PDF showing satellite view of houses number 20 to 30 on Onslow Avenue. The sycamore tree in the rear garden of number 26 is marked by a red dotted circle on the plan. It is proposed to reduce the height and spread of the tree to growth points approximately 2m above previous pruning. This is to maintain a manageable overall height of 4.5m and spread of 4m of the tree to avoid overhang to neighbouring properties and reduce any potential risk of root ingress into drains.

Maisonette First And Second Floor 197 Castelnau Barnes London SW13 9ER
T1 & T2 – Lime (Tilia spp.) Proposed Works: Fell both Lime trees to ground level by sectional dismantling. Arboricultural Justification The two Lime trees are small, previously pollarded specimens that are in poor structural condition and no longer represent suitable trees for retention. Inspection identified extensive decay at the base of both stems together with significant decay associated with the historic pollard heads, indicating progressive structural deterioration. The trees exhibit poor vitality and the combination of basal decay and decayed pollard unions has substantially compromised their long-term structural integrity. The trees are also unsuitably located within a confined area where there is insufficient space for continued development. Their proximity to surrounding structures and the restricted growing environment has resulted in an ongoing conflict between the trees and their surroundings, making long-term retention impractical. Given the advanced stage of decay affecting both the basal stem and crown, together with their limited remaining safe life expectancy, continued cyclical pruning would not provide a sustainable management solution and would only prolong the retention of structurally compromised trees. The proposed removal represents the most appropriate long-term arboricultural solution, eliminating the foreseeable risk associated with progressive structural failure whilst allowing the opportunity for replacement planting with species better suited to the available growing space. The works are considered reasonable, proportionate and in accordance with the principles of good arboricultural management and BS3998:2010 – Tree Work – Recommendations.

51 Kew Green Kew Richmond TW9 3AA
Quercus ilex in front garden. Requesting crown reduction back to previous pruning cuts visible from 2015. Reduce in height by 2-3m, reduce laterals by 1-2m & shape. Nothing bigger than 5cm diameter to be cut as advised by consulted tree surgeon (Bartlett's), who would be employed to undertake the works. Reasons for work- concern re damage to tree from Coaches (to Kew Gardens) reduction would prevent interference from large vehicles whilst maintaining shape of crown.
