Planning application
56 Sheen Park, Richmond, Surrey, Tw9 1up
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Our Whitebeam, Sorbus ariatree, that was about 12m tall suddenly died last autumn for no obvious reason. We request to remove the tree. We would prefer not to replace it as we have a short, narrow garden (6m wide) with a large mature cooper beech (+20m) within 3m of our boundary on one side at #54 and 2 ferns (Thujas?) 15m tall within 1-2m of our boundary with #58 on the other side. Once approved we will have the tree removed before winter. Removal is staright forward for a relatively small size tree.
