  Tree Species: Cypress TPO Reference: T1 Location: Rear garden of 15 Orchard Rise, Richmond, TW10 5BX Proposed Works - Fell / remove T1 in full. T1 is showing progressive decline consistent with Cypress Canker, evidenced by scattered dieback throughout the crown, thinning foliage, and resin bleeding on the main stem. Cypress Canker is incurable, and the decline will continue to spread further through the tree’s vascular system. As the disease progresses, branches become structurally weakened, increasing the risk of unpredictable limb failure. The tree stands within what will become a used garden space, so this presents a safety concern. There are several other conifer trees close by, and Cypress Canker is known to spread between conifers, so removing the infected tree now will help protect the remaining tree stock on site. The tree’s amenity value is already reduced due to visible thinning and dieback and will continue to decline. Removal at this stage allows the tree to be replaced in a controlled and planned manner, rather than requiring urgent removal later. Replacement Tree Proposal - Replacement Species: Magnolia grandiflora (evergreen) Quantity: 1 Position: To be planted in approximately the same area as T1, maintaining garden structure and screening. Size at Planting: Approximately 1.5m–2m high (10–14 litre container or equivalent). Reason: Magnolia grandiflora provides year-round evergreen structure and strong long-term amenity value, ensuring there is no loss of screening or tree presence in the garden following removal of T1. So overall, the plan is to remove an unhealthy tree and replace it with a healthy, long-term one. Tree Reference: T2 Species: Holly Proposed Work: Fell / remove in full. Location: Rear garden of 15 Orchard Rise, Richmond, TW10 5BX Reasons for Work: The Holly has significant exposed and surface roots, indicating a shallow and compromised root plate. Several roots are visibly damaged / decayed, reducing the tree’s ability to anchor securely. The tree is located directly adjacent to the glass terrace and a main pedestrian route, meaning that any failure during high winds or storms would pose a risk to property and personal safety. Retention is not appropriate due to instability risk and site safety concerns. Replacement Planting Proposal: To ensure no loss of tree cover, I propose to plant: 1 × Magnolia grandiflora (approximately 1.5–2m height at planting), within the rear garden in a suitable location, away from structures and paths. This will maintain amenity value and contribute positively to the garden landscape.

  T1 Holly (x1) Fell to ground level. Reason: Young, self-sewn tree with sparse crown. 9cm diameter trunk is only 20cm from a drain inspection chamber. T2 Lawson Cypress (x1) Fell to ground level. Reason: Twin stemmed, poor specimen. Crown is growing into the Liquidambar street tree. Loss is mitigated by continued presence of street tree and retention of adjacent Cherry. Replacement will be planted to side of drive. T3 Conifer (x1) Cut to ground level. Reason: Dead T4 Thuja (x1) (In No.37 Berwyn Rd) Reduce overhanging branches back by 2m to the boundary line.Reason: Prevent overhang from neighbouring trees. T5 Bay tree (x1) (In No.39 Berwyn Rd) Raise height of overhanging canopy to 3m. Reason: So it matches the neighbour’s side. T6 Fig (x1) Cut back the limb overhanging the flowerbed. Reason: Prevent overhang over flower bed T7 Lawson cypress group: No work to this group.
