Planning application

40 Heathcote Road Twickenham TW1 1RX

Refused Richmond upon Thames PA26/0388 Works to Trees Under TPO

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

T1 Oak (Quercus Robur) Crown reduction by up to 2 – 3 meters to shape and contain. Final height 15 meters and final spread 12 meters. This is to reduce end weight lowering the risk of failure as client has young children in the garden and this will naturally balance crown. Happy to meet at site to discuss further.
