   Decision issued: Application Refused

4. 30 Aug 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

  X1 Silver birch: Fell As detailed within the accompanying arboricultural and engineering evidence, the tree is situated approximately 1.8 metres from the property and is exhibiting significant surface rooting typical of Betula pendula. The shallow root system has caused measurable deformation of the tarmacadam driveway, including uplift, cracking, sub base distortion and surface delamination. The independent hard surface and drainage assessment confirms that reinstatement of the driveway to compliant drainage gradients cannot be achieved without excavation within the tree?s root protection area. Due to the garage threshold being set lower than the driveway level, regrading without root removal would create unacceptable flood risk. Pruning has been considered but is not a viable long term solution. Birch species tolerate reduction poorly and significant pruning would accelerate physiological decline without addressing the underlying root conflict. Given the constrained rooting environment, ongoing hard surface displacement and drainage implications, removal and replacement is considered the only sustainable long term solution. We propose to replace the tree with a suitable specimen of approximately 18 to 20 cm e girth, to be positioned appropriately within the site to avoid recurrence of structural conflict while maintaining amenity value. We respectfully request that the application be approved in light of the enclosed technical evidence.

  T2 Sorbus (Rowan): Fell to ground level The proposed removal is justified on arboricultural grounds due to the presence of a decay causing fungus affecting the structural integrity of the tree. Retention would present an unacceptable level of risk in its current location.

  Description of Proposed Tree Works Location: Little Venice Gardens, Randolph Road, London, W9 1AN Area: Maida Vale Conservation Area T1 ? Birch (Betula spp.) ? western side of tennis court Located within Little Venice Gardens on the western side of the tennis court when viewed from Randolph Road. Reduce the lateral crown spread by approximately 2m from the tennis-court side, cutting back the overhanging branches to suitable growth points. Maintain a balanced and natural crown form and retain sufficient healthy furnishing growth throughout the remaining crown. T2 ? Birch (Betula spp.) ? western side of tennis court Located adjacent to T1 on the western side of the tennis court when viewed from Randolph Road. Reduce the lateral crown spread by approximately 2m from the tennis-court side, cutting back the overhanging branches to suitable growth points. Maintain a balanced and natural crown form and retain sufficient healthy furnishing growth throughout the remaining crown. T3 ? Prunus ? subhirtella ?Pissardii? (Prunus cerasifera ?Pissardii?) ? rear of No. 19 Located to the rear of No. 19 Randolph Road, adjacent to the tennis courts. Reduce the overall crown by approximately 2.5m, reducing the height and lateral spread evenly throughout the crown to suitable growth points. Maintain the natural form, balance and structural integrity of the tree whilst retaining suitable healthy furnishing growth. General specification: All works are proposed as routine arboricultural maintenance to retain the trees at a suitable size for their location and to manage crown growth extending towards the tennis court. All pruning cuts will be made to suitable growth points in accordance with good arboricultural practice. The works will be carried out sympathetically, retaining the natural form and structural framework of each tree and avoiding unnecessarily large pruning wounds.
