Planning application
4 Northumberland Place Richmond TW10 6TS
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 4 Northumberland Place Car Park T1 A,B,C : Leylandii trees groupe x3 [outside No. 7] – Fell to ground level Height of tree currently: 7M Height of tree after reduction: 0M Spread of tree currently: 7M Spread of tree after reduction: OM T2: Leylandii tree [outside No. 11] – Fell to ground level Height of tree currently: 7M Height of tree after reduction: 0M Spread of tree currently: 5M Spread of tree after reduction: OM Reason for Works: We are looking to remove the x4 Leylandii trees due to their location directly over the allocated visitor and resident parking bays. Bird droppings from the trees are causing issues for vehicles parked beneath them, making the bays difficult to use. Their location also restricts access for larger vans when tradespeople are carrying out work on the grounds.
