Proposal
T1 Acacia: Fell Justification for Removal: The Acacia sp. is poorly positioned within close proximity to a boundary wall, where root expansion has begun to cause displacement and cracking to the adjacent masonry. Although the specimen is not yet mature, its species characteristics indicate a rapid growth rate and the potential for significant structural interference as it develops. The restricted space limits future root and canopy expansion, rendering long-term retention impracticable without further damage to the wall or adjacent surfaces. The tree’s canopy currently overshadows nearby planting, suppressing the growth of adjacent specimens and reducing overall diversity within the planting scheme. It also contributes to localised shading of the adjoining garden area. Due to its siting behind the boundary and lack of public visibility, it offers negligible public amenity value and makes no material contribution to the wider streetscape. Formative or remedial pruning would be technically difficult due to the tree’s growth habit and position against the wall, and would not resolve the underlying structural and spatial conflicts. On arboricultural grounds, removal and replacement with a more suitable species in an appropriate location is considered the most sustainable long-term solution.

4 Cambrian Road Richmond TW10 6JQ
T1 - False acacia - Mature Robinia situated on the corner of Cambrian road and Grove road. Tight union at approx. 3.5-4m where lateral branch originated from main trunk, with faint signs of a crack forming. Evidence of dieback in the upper crown with a sparse crown and deadwood. There's more than 3 branch stubs from previously snapped branches and a hanging branch in the tree. Recommendations - Reduce all aspects of crown crown by approx. 3-3.5m, remove deadwood and hanging branches. Reduce lower lateral branch by approx. 3m and thin by 20% to reduce weight on branch tips and chance of failure. (Application made as a 5 day DDD due to the dangerous state of the tree). Starting height - 19m - Starting spread - 9m Finished height - 16m - Finished spread - 6m 1 T2 Caucasian Wingnut Reduce all aspects of crown by approx. 1.5-2m. Reduce overextended limb back by approx. 3-3.5m back into shape and Sever section of Ivy to promote tree health.
