Planning application

1 24, Bayleaf Close, Hampton Hill

Granted Richmond upon Thames PA25/4462 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

T4030 Robinia - Pollard at approximately 8-10m retaining all lower canopy but reducing linear lower canopy on West aspect from 6m to 3m to previous pruning points. Justification: Stem cavities and habitat holes throughout lower stem at 4-6m indicating dysfunctional wood and posing a risk to structural integrity. Crown dominance to building restricting natural light to sheltered accommodation with elderly residents. Adjacent tree pollard requirements would leave tree asymmetric and under new wind exposure. Current height 17m reducing by 7-9m, current spread 9m, reducing by 3m. T0941 Group - Lateral reduce East dominance over adjacent garden from 5m to 3m due to moderate lean and basal cavity. No change to overall height or spread.

    T4044 Ash - Crown Lift to 2.5m for pedestrian clearance. No change to overall height or spread. T0940 Robinia - Lateral reduction on East dominance over adjacent property from 6m to 3m due to established phototrophic lean and encroachment. No changes to tree height.

T4028B Robinia - Pollard at approximately 8m retaining all lower canopy with a 3-4m radius. Justification: Minor established lean to East with dominance over adjacent property. New pollard would bring the tree in management size with adjacent tree works and helping with encroachment issues. Adjacent tree pollard requirements would leave upper crown open to new wind exposure. Regeneration growth would be easier and safer to manage. Current height 14m and current spread 7m. T4031 Robinia - Pollard at approximately 8-10m retaining all lower canopy with a 3m radius on all aspects. Justification: Large historic 2-3m open wound on South sub dominant stem with exposed heartwood and potential compromised structural integrity.
