Planning application

Awaiting decision Richmond upon Thames PA26/3263 Works to Tree/s in Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

For the purposes of both tree health and avoiding any nuisance to our neighbours from overlapping branches and light reduction, we wish to do the following works to 2 trees in our garden: Crown reduction to reduce the spread of the Silver Birch Tree from c 8m to 6m (height reduction by 2m from c12m to a maximum height of approx 10m) as shown as #1 near the rear boundary wall of our property in the attached plan. We also wish to remove a damaged 2.5 meter branch which is growing over our fence into the neighbour's property at 26 Fairfax Road. The branch comes out of the smaller right-hand of the 2 stems (viewed from our house) which grow from the trunk of the tree at 1m height. The smaller stem has a 15cm diameter at 1.5m above ground, and is below the main crown so will not constitute crown lifting. We will also want to do up to 20% crown thinning of the tree. For the Hawthorn Tree shown in the plan as #2 on the left hand side of our rear garden, We wish to undertake crown thinning of up to 20% and crown reduction of up to 1m, reducing the spread of the tree to c 2.5m and the maximum height to 3m once all stray shoots have been removed.
