Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
T1 Horse chestnut - Over extended limb towards building requires weight reduction 5m. An overall weight reduction is also required. I propose to reduce the entire tree by 4 metres. Current height 22m, tree height will be 18m high. Width currently 20m, width will be left at 16m, depending on wether the extended limb is permitted to be reduced to 6m. If so the the width would result in being 14m Remove basal growth up to 6m. T2 Horse chestnut - Remove this tree. This smaller tree within the row has Rust spots from 2 metres upwards indicating Canker infection. There are the fruiting body remains of a further disease at the base of this tree which cannot be identified at this stage. With the tree being located over a busy footpath & road i recommend removal of this tree. (See photos) T3 Horse chestnut - An overall weight reduction is required. I propose to reduce the height and roadside branches tree by 4 metres. Current height 22m, tree height will be 18m high. Width currently 16m, width will be left at 12m. Remove basal growth up to 6m. (See Photos) T4 Horse chestnut - An overall weight reduction is required. I propose to reduce the entire tree by 4 metres. Current height 18m, tree height will be 14m high. Width currently 18m, width will be left at 14m. Remove basal growth up to 6m. There is also an area at the base of this tree which has the remains of fungal fruiting bodies but again the disease cannot be identified due to the advanced state of decay. T5 Horse chestnut - An overall weight reduction is required. I propose to reduce the entire tree by 8 metres. Current height 20m, tree height will be 12m high. Width currently 16m, width will be left at 8m. Remove basal growth up to 7m. The base has a large wound where compost has been built up over the years and bleeding canker is present on this tree. The weight is very one sided. The wall has shifted significantly and the road has been lifted due to the root damage. T6 Self sown Ash - Remove tree. this tree...

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.

Palace Gate House, Old Palace Yard, Richmond, TW9 1PD
T1 - Stone Pine Dimensions: Approx 18m Height, N12m, E6m, S8m, W2m. Proposed Works: Remove lowest limb back to the stem. Justification: The tree has a large over-extended lever arm growing to the north-west, roughly 12m in length. It protrudes well outside the line of the rest of the canopy and has been the subject of at least two previous applications, including one rejected by Richmond last year, showing this limb has been a concern to multiple separate arborists over a period of time. Recently a limb above it failed, came down and caused significant damage to the listed boundary wall to Old Palace Yard. The remaining lever arm sits above a busy public footpath with frequent historical tours passing through, a busy roadway and a run of car parking bays. Photographs from only two years ago show a noticeable flattening of the limb since, which adds to our concerns around end loading and mechanical stress at the union. With the failure we have been dealing with, there are no sufficient points left in the tree to brace from. On that basis we believe removal of the limb is the only suitable course of action, and given the target beneath it and the failure that has already occurred and no substantial reduction points.

T1- Ash tree- Remove and replace with Liquidambar tree. This tree has been a problem for many years. It grows adjacent to a street light on a busy road thus consuming and blocking the light for pedestrians & road users. it drops debris onto the footpath & road. The tree was last trimmed back in November 2023 and has now grown back over the footpath & road. There are branches breaking out and some panic growth visible. Suspicion that Ash dieback is present. The tree is covered in Ivy so the condition of the stem cannot be seen at this stage. The reason for the replanting of a Liquidambar tree is that it would have a nicer look on the road. T2- Small Nespola tree- Remove this tree. It doesn't add any benefit to the property or area and has been left to grow wild.

G1 - 6x Hornbeam (NW & SW border of the garden) - Reduce crowns back to the pleached tree frameworks. Height to be reduced by 6m, back to 1ft above old framework points, to create a flat top across all trees. Sides reduced by 2m, back to create a pleached frame work, near to previous points as reduced on the NW side. The aim is to bring the trees, back into the pleached pruning method, as initially intended when planted.
