Planning application
106, Ground Floor Flat, Church Road, Richmond, TW10 6LW
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Tree Species & Numbers (as shown on sketch plan) T1 – Mature Lime (Tilia × europaea) Located at the rear boundary. Previously pollarded with established knuckle formation visible. T2 – Semi-mature Lime (Tilia × europaea) Situated adjacent to T1. Previously managed via pollarding with defined regrowth points. T3 – Apple (Malus domestica) Garden fruit tree showing historic pollard/reduction points with dense upper crown regrowth. Description of Proposed Works T1, T2, and T3: Pollard all three trees back to their previous pollard points, removing approximately 2–4 metres of current season and secondary regrowth (final cuts to suitable growth points). Works are proposed to: Maintain trees at a sustainable size for the garden setting Reduce end-weight and sail effect Manage crown density Minimise risk of branch failure Promote structured regenerative growth from established pollard heads All works will be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 – Tree Work Recommendation The trees have historically been managed by pollarding and the proposed works represent cyclical maintenance rather than a change in arboricultural practice.

106, First Floor Flat, Church Road, Richmond, TW10 6LW
T1 – Lime (Tilia sp.) – Further reduce previously pollarded tree by reducing the retained stem framework to approximately c10m above ground level (as marked on site), retaining the lower monolith/framework for habitat and future management. Remove associated regrowth and epicormic growth from the main stem as required. Reason for works: Tree exhibits a significant basal cavity with extensive internal decay extending vertically within the main stem, as identified within the attached arboricultural report. The tree has previously been heavily pollarded; however, due to concerns regarding the structural integrity of the remaining upper stem framework and the associated loading on the compromised base, further height reduction is proposed in the interests of risk management and continued safe retention of the tree in a reduced form
