Planning application
17, Fairfax Road, Teddington, TW11 9DJ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
There is a large eucalyptus tree in the front garden on our property. This is not the right kind of tree to be so close to the house, is growing very large and could cause structural issues. We want to remove the tree and plant a small acer in its place which is a more appropriate tree for the space.
