Planning application
68 Trematon Place Teddington TW11 9RH
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
As part of landscaping works in my back garden, I plan to remove the existing Yucca plant/tree. The tree is on the right hand side of the garden on the border with the lands of the estate, is solely in my property and does not impact on any other premises or land. Having spoken with my neighbor the Yucca was not part of the original housing development but was planted by one of the previous owners as a small Yucca plant which has subsequently grown into the larger plant/tree you can see in the attached photo and marked by the number 1 on the attached sketch plan. The plant/tree will be completely removed to make way for a new planting border that will contain a variety of new plants and also a small replacement tree for screening (likely to be a birch tree, standard or multi stem). See attached design document. The existing tree/plant is not protected but given that the diameter is over 7.5cm and the property is in a conversation area, I wanted to submit a planning application to ensure there are no issues or objections with the Yucca plant/tree being completely removed.

COMMUNAL TREE T15 Deodar Cedar (Cedrus deodara) The tree was reported to have started to show signs of severe decline in the last month or so, dropping needles and yellowing of needles. There is no obvious sign of a reason for this. The treenow looks dead. The tree has always looked in relatively poor condition since I have known it (around 15 years), which is probably associated with the historic change of ground conditions when the estate was built. Trees do not cope well when the ground levels are changed near the base, the roots get compacted with raising the ground level or exposed and damaged when the levels are dropped - it appears the ground level was significantly raised in this case. However, this was around 50 years ago so one would expect the tree to have died sooner if the change in ground level was the cause of the tree's decline. There is exudate (sap like substance) all around the stem at around 1-2m which is an indication of poor condition/stress. Fell to low stump - due to the tree being within a pit and in poor condition.
