PA26/3287 Awaiting decision
40, The White House, Broom Water, Teddington, TW11 9QJ
L1 Lime - fell. We are unsure if this is covered by a TPO as it is sandwiched between 2 fine TPO trees (Chestnut and Plane). It has been brutally pollarded by our neighbours in River Reach over the last 15 years and no longer has any discerning character other than the main trunk. Due to the size of the adjacent TPO trees it is unlikely that any new tree would grow so we are not proposing replacement. S1 & S2 Sycamores - fell. These are self-seeded saplings that have grown larger in an inappropriate position under the canopies of adjacent TPO trees. C1 Cedar - This has grown considerably over the past 15 years and has now caused subsidence to our property. The insurance company has recommended it is felled.
