Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
This application is made in respect of a large sycamore tree in the front garden of 122 Holly Road, Twickenham. The tree is located just inside the front garden of 122 Holly Road and is subject to a tree protection order, reference T0182- T1- Sycamore. A health and safety arboricultural inspection of the tree (attached) has identified that the tree shows extensive internal decay in the trunk and other parts and insufficient sound wood to maintain safety. The crown of the tree shows extensive die back and major deadwood. The report recommends that the tree be sectionally dismantled to ground level using a safe process to protect public safety. Owing to the extremely small front garden plot, the likely depletion of the soil, and the proximity of the carriageway it is not considered possible to replant. It is proposed that the existing photinia hedge and ceanothus are allowed to develop to provide relief to an otherwise grey street scene. To the rear of the property, 7 trees have been planted within the last decade together with other garden plants and shrubs and it is not considered feasible to find space for further planting. See enclosed location plan, photos and arboricultural health and safety report.
