Planning application

Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1. False Acacia Frontage: Selectively reduce height and spread by 1.5-2m, thinning out the longer sections of the regrowth by 15%, retaining suitable branches to create a very natural appearance. Remove dead branches throughout the crown area that are over 2.5cm in diameter, and inspect the crown for any adversities. The tree's current height is 17m, and its crown spread is 12m After the proposed works, the tree's height is 15m and the crown spread is 10m.

Pond Lodge Bushwood Road Kew Richmond TW9 3BG
Bay(Laurus nobilis)-3x large stems Ht-16m Spread-7m DBH-40cm each stem DAB-1m -section fell to ground level & grind stump The tree overwhelms the garden being too large for the space available to it and for the position it occupies. It has, as a result of being a shrub, three main trunks which spread upwards and outwards hence it is thought there cannot be a reduction programme such that it can be successfully controlled. Its root system is large and wide which root system prevents the growth of anything in a substantial proportion of the garden as a whole. Further, its root system is also problematic with existing underground drains for the house. It casts shade across a substantial part of the garden materially reducing overall amenity. Our neighbours are affected by it and have directly asked on a number of occasions if there are plans for it to be removed. Replacement suitable planting is planned following the removal of the tree.

Silver Birch. Approximately 50 years old. Our garden is 5.8m X 7.2m in dimensions. The Birch trunk alone is just short of 800mm in diameter. And it sits one metre from each side of the corner of the boundary fence. We are in the process of replacing our boundary fence on the right side between the neighbour, and find the roots are now growing fully through the boundaries of the two properties, and rising in fact. This will disrupt any groundwork created in terms of pavement or plant beds, and also likely compromise the separating fence considerably. I attach photographs. I would like to request that this tree be felled to preserve the boundaries between these two properties and prevent any further damage to the structure. The extensive reach of the leaves also encroaches on all sides in terms of our neighbours, so I believe this will also be a benefit of it being felled.
