Planning application
20 The Crescent Barnes London SW13 0NN
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal

(Final height 5m, final width 6m) Reason: Has grown excessively large - tree is blocking street sign and blocking light to properties.
