Mullion, Sudbrook Lane, Petersham, Richmond, TW10 7AT

Granted Richmond upon Thames PA26/0026 Works to Tree/s in Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Leyland Cypress 'Castlewellan' - 10 meters in height. No. 1 on the sketch plan The proposal is to fell this mature Cypress tree located on the boundary wall and replace it with a mature Robinia tree (4.2 to 4.8 metres (14-16cm girth)) planted in line with the existing run of five Robinia trees along the boundary, which will maintain visual continuity and enhance the landscape character. This Cypress was originally planted as a screening tree when Parkland House was constructed 25 years ago but is now in poor condition and growing too large in close proximity to the boundary wall.
