Planning application

72, Brinsworth House, Staines Road, Twickenham, TW2 5AL

Awaiting decision Richmond upon Thames PA26/2936 Works to Tree/s in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Grounds of Brinsworth House (Front Boundary) T1: Beech tree – Fell to ground level, grind out stump Reason for Work Following the tree work carried out approximately three years ago, the tree has developed stag-heading and is displaying clear signs of root system decline. Given that the adjacent tree was previously removed due to infection by Ganoderma and Honey fungus, it is possible that these pathogens have affected the subject tree and contributed to its decline. Current height standing at 12m Reducing height down to 0m Spread of tree before 5m Spread of tree after reduction 0m

As published by the council, reference PA26/2936
