Planning application

92A Church Road Richmond TW10 6LW

Granted Richmond upon Thames PA25/4182 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 Garden T1 Bay Laurel (by garden studio and pergola) Approximate existing height: 10.0 m Approximate existing radial spread: 4.0 m Proposed works Reduce crown height by 25%, giving a finished height of approximately 6.5 m. Reduce lateral spread proportionally by 25%, giving a finished radial spread of approximately 3.0 m (overall crown width 6.0 m). Lift crown locally to achieve a minimum clearance of 2.2 m above the seating area while maintaining screening. Form a natural, rounded canopy outline and remove crossing or congested growth as needed. Routine Maintenance T2 Pear (centre of garden) Approximate existing height: 6.0 m Approximate existing radial spread: 3.5 m Proposed works Reduce crown height by 25%, giving a finished height of approximately 4.5 m. Reduce lateral spread proportionally by 25%, giving a finished radial spread of approximately 2.6 m (overall crown width 5.2 m). Prune to maintain balanced form and draw in laterals from the boundary. Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches, and shorten fruiting spurs to manage vigour and reduce future fruit yield. Routine Maintenance T3 Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo, near rear wall) Approximate existing height: 5.0 m Approximate existing radial spread: 2.5 m Proposed works Reduce crown height by 25%, giving a finished height of approximately 3.75 m. Reduce lateral spread proportionally by 25%, giving a finished radial spread of approximately 1.9 m (overall crown width 3.8 m). Selectively thin internal growth to reveal structure and improve light penetration. Maintain the tree’s natural character and compact form. Routine Maintenance
