Planning application
St Elizabeths Rc Church The Vineyard Richmond TW10 6AQ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
REAR GARDEN T1 Mulberry End weight reduction - Removing selected branches in the upper canopy to reduce current end weight and sail area of the tree which in turn will reduce stress on weak unions. Final height = 5m and final spread = 6m. FRONT GARDEN G2 Crab Apple (Malus sylvestris) X5 30% Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the trees by approximately 1-2m to tidy and contain, ensuring all trees are of a similar height. Crown lift all trees to top of adjacent wall. X2 end trees have had roots severed on one side and are a bit unstable so reducing will help with this issue. Final height = 4m and final spread = 2m

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
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.
