   Decision issued: Refused Permission

   Added to PlanIndex

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

  This tree is badly diseased and have disease to the trunks. This is the application for the removal or 3 poor quality Yew Trees. They are close and in some cases touching the Grade 2 wall of Richmond Park They are causing structural damage to the wall and driveway and will continue to do so if not removed. This is a major risk that the homeowner should not be exposed to. Policy 29 of Richmond local plan – Designated Heritage Assets requires heritage assets to be protected and this is not being adhered to here. There are also numerous National Policies and Local Policies that require listed assets to be preserved and allowing these tress to remain here is causing significant damage, leading eventually to the wall falling down. Planning policy allowing for the removal of trees that are causing damage to Listed Heritage assets and property is extensive and supported. The trees are unhealthy, bad specimens and are causing significant damage. There are also significant adjacent trees and the loss of these tress would not cause a loss of public amenity. There are substantial trees within 5m of these tress both at 32 Fife Rd and on the other side of the wall in Richmond Park. The removal of these trees would stop damage to the wall and driveway and there would be no loss of public amenity. We would ask for the removal of these trees to be allowed. They are obviously poor quality, obviously ill and obviously causing serious property damage.

  Palace Gate House, Old Palace Yard, Richmond, TW9 1PD

  T1 - Stone Pine Dimensions: Approx 18m Height, N12m, E6m, S8m, W2m. Proposed Works: Remove lowest limb back to the stem. Justification: The tree has a large over-extended lever arm growing to the north-west, roughly 12m in length. It protrudes well outside the line of the rest of the canopy and has been the subject of at least two previous applications, including one rejected by Richmond last year, showing this limb has been a concern to multiple separate arborists over a period of time. Recently a limb above it failed, came down and caused significant damage to the listed boundary wall to Old Palace Yard. The remaining lever arm sits above a busy public footpath with frequent historical tours passing through, a busy roadway and a run of car parking bays. Photographs from only two years ago show a noticeable flattening of the limb since, which adds to our concerns around end loading and mechanical stress at the union. With the failure we have been dealing with, there are no sufficient points left in the tree to brace from. On that basis we believe removal of the limb is the only suitable course of action, and given the target beneath it and the failure that has already occurred and no substantial reduction points.

  T1- Ash tree- Remove and replace with Liquidambar tree. This tree has been a problem for many years. It grows adjacent to a street light on a busy road thus consuming and blocking the light for pedestrians & road users. it drops debris onto the footpath & road. The tree was last trimmed back in November 2023 and has now grown back over the footpath & road. There are branches breaking out and some panic growth visible. Suspicion that Ash dieback is present. The tree is covered in Ivy so the condition of the stem cannot be seen at this stage. The reason for the replanting of a Liquidambar tree is that it would have a nicer look on the road. T2- Small Nespola tree- Remove this tree. It doesn't add any benefit to the property or area and has been left to grow wild.
