Planning application
1 Hatherley Road Richmond TW9 3LH
Works: Trees Small domestic
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Lime tree located along the left boundary wall facing Hatherley Road 1) Thin crown 2) reduce crown by 1/3 - 40% 3) remove dead/dying branches A few small branches seem to have died but the rest have a lot of leaves that fall on the asbestos garage roof on neighbouring property, and our flat roof extension causing issues with guttering and rainfall retention on the roofing. Excess leaves and rainwater falling from leaves have also caused substantial rotting to the decking directly beneath the tree Previous owners successfully applied for 1/3 crown reduction previously and tree has grown in 3 years since.
