Planning application

12 Haverfield Gardens Kew Richmond TW9 3DD

Granted Richmond upon Thames PA25/4604 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

Tree 1 - Apple tree in the rear garden. Request to prune the overall canopy. Current height - 7 meters Current Width - 5.5 meters Reduction requested - One meter reduction of all branches to reduce the tree to 6 meters in height and reduce the width to 4.5 meters Reasons for pruning - The tree is exceeding the width of garden and growing into neighbor's boundary and out grown the small rear garden which is 9 meters by 5.5 meters. When the tree is in full leaf, at it's current size it blocks natural light to the rear kitchen and upper rear bedroom. The tree has a hollow trunk and weight of the canopy could put the tree at risk of damage in high winds. The large annual growth of the tree means it require regular pruning to keep the size of the tree under control. Date for works - Late February, early March 2026 depending on the application approval date. Or February 2026 to coincide with the trees dormant period.
