Planning application
134 Castelnau Barnes London SW13 9ET
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Large Laurel tree in back garden (no other trees in garden). Tree has become over grown and very heavy and the weight is putting strain on the tree trunk and jeopardising the stability and health of the tree. It needs a crown reduction , especially at the sides and bottom of the tree. Expected crown reduction will be approximately 30%, approximately 1.5 metres of pruning on the height and spread of the tree all around. Tree surgeon to carry out the work is Les West. Our neighbours at 136 where the tree part overhangs are fully supportive and collaborating on the reduction.
