Planning application

50 Beechwood Avenue Kew Richmond TW9 4DE

Granted Richmond upon Thames PA26/2707 Works to Tree/s in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 Holly (Ilex aquifolium) Carry out the reshaping of the Holly (Ilex aquifolium) to produce a balanced, compact and aesthetically pleasing crown. The works shall include the selective pruning of overextended and uneven growth back to suitable growth points, whilst retaining healthy furnishing growth and preserving the tree's natural form and character. T2 Field Maple (Acer campestre) Carry out a crown reduction of the Field Maple (Acer campestre) by approximately 1.5 metres, pruning back to suitable secondary growth points throughout the crown to reduce the overall height and lateral spread whilst maintaining a balanced, natural canopy. The works shall be undertaken using selective reduction techniques to retain healthy furnishing growth, improve crown symmetry and minimise the size of pruning wounds, leaving the tree with a well-balanced and natural appearance. Reason for works: General tree maintenance and light starvation to property
