   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 24 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Richmond upon Thames took a median of 45 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Richmond upon Thames for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

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.

  T1: London Plane Re-reduce back to established pollard points. Proposed reduction in height of approximately 3 metres, bringing the tree from its current height of approximately 11 metres to approximately 8 metres. Canopy spread to be reduced from approximately 6 metres to approximately 5 metres. All pruning cuts to be made back to previous pollard unions in accordance with BS 3998:2010. T2: London Plane As T1 — re-reduce back to established pollard points. Proposed reduction in height of approximately 3 metres, bringing the tree from its current height of approximately 11 metres to approximately 8 metres. Canopy spread to be reduced from approximately 6 metres to approximately 5 metres. All pruning cuts to be made back to previous pollard unions in accordance with BS 3998:2010. Front Garden (Corner, Adjacent to Church) T3: Horse Chestnut Proposed crown reduction of approximately 1.5–2 metres in height, bringing the tree from its current height of approximately 10 metres to approximately 8–8.5 metres. Lateral branches to be reduced by approximately 2 metres to rebalance the canopy and restore an even, symmetrical form. Crown to be thinned by approximately 5% to improve light penetration and air movement through the canopy. All major deadwood of 25mm diameter and above to be removed. Works to be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010. Reason for Works Routine management to maintain these trees in a condition appropriate to their setting within the conservation area. Works to the London planes form part of an established pollarding cycle, continuing the management regime carried out in the previous application(20/T0789/TCA). The horse chestnut requires rebalancing to maintain a well-structured and even canopy form. Additionally, lower crown lifting is required to provide adequate clearance over the adjacent highway and footpath.

  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.
