Planning application

17 Lichfield Road Kew Richmond TW9 3JR

Granted Richmond upon Thames PA25/3285 Works to Tree/s in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Rear T2 Silver Birch x 1 (Betula pendula / alba) This tree planted by us is doing well but has grown un-evenly due to shading. Suggested work: - Reduce the right hand side of the canopy by approx 1-2m to create a uniform crown. - Shape remainder of tree to tidy approx 0.5m, avoiding cutting the top. - finishing dimensions of 5m in height and 3.5m in diameter Rear T3 Palm x 1 This tree is growing well but is due to be maintained. Suggested work: - Remove dead and dying frongs - current dimensions of the palm are approx. 6m in height by 1m in diameter and this will not be affected as we are only planning to remove deadwood.

    Rear T1 Photina spp x 1 This tree is starting to encroach on to the garden at no. 17 Lichfield Road. Suggested work: - Cut back hard away from the garden at no.17 Lichfield Road to the previous points. (Just past boundary line) The finishing dimensions of the photinia will be largely unaffected as we are only planning to cut back approx. .50m from one side, but the rough dimensions would be 4m in height and 3.5m in diameter .
