Planning application

Leander House Lower Teddington Road Hampton Wick Kingston Upon Thames KT1 4HJ

Refused Richmond upon Thames 23/T0055/TPO Works to Trees Under TPO

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Robinia Tree report by Toby Gilbert, Above All Tree Care, Tree Surgeon and Arborist [email protected] Fell to ground level, due to the included bark around the base obvious signs of fungal decay at the base, previously pollarded. Low amenity value, high risk of damage due to the location of the tree. A more suitable tree will be planted in its location once felled and stump removed. I would be grateful for your urgency in reviewing this application, as the tree is very close to the house, and would cause considerable damage and risk to our children if it were to fall.

    This application proposes to remove existing Thuja occidental (White Cedar), marked as T8 on drawing submitted with this application. The existing tree within the private driveway offers no ecological or visual benefit to the surrounding conservation area, it's removal will not have a negative impact to the local wildlife or ecological network. Potential replacement of said non-native tree will be based on landscape design together with arboriculturist advice. This is to ensure a more appropriate native species is chosen which could have a greater contribution to the surrounding conservation area. The landscape design will be submitted to the Local authority as part of conditional discharge related to planning approval 22/3802/VRC.
