  49A Townshend Road London NW8 6LJ

  T1 - Veteran Lime Tree The proposed works seek consent to re-pollard the TPO-protected Lime by approximately 2.5m (Tilia sp.) back to its established historic pollard points as part of an appropriate and sustainable management regime. The tree has produced substantial regrowth since its last cycle of management, resulting in increased end-weight and mechanical loading at previous pruning points. Re-pollarding to the original pollard framework will reduce the risk of branch failure, improve structural stability and help maintain the tree within a size that is proportionate to its setting. All works will be undertaken in a sensitive manner, with pruning cuts made to suitable secondary growth in accordance with BS 39982010. Reason for works: Regular tree maintenance

  T1 Betula jacquemontii- Fell- This tree has out grown its position in the small herbacious border and garden, it is blocking light and the roots are suppressing the growth of other ornamental shrubs and trees- The owner would like to remove it before it gets any larger- a poor choice for such a small garden, also blocking the view in to Green park. T2 Prunus sp.- Fell As above , in addition the trees lower branches have been removed and now has impaired form, is being suppressed by the London Plane tree and it has very few blossoms in the spring. If nessessary the tree owner would be prepared to replace the two trees with a more suitable tree
