Planning application

6 Aquila Street London NW8 6PN

Awaiting decision Westminster 25/07983/TCA Applic. for works to trees in CA

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

Proposal

Tree Identification: Italian Cypress tree Specification of Works: Removal of the cypress tree located in the rear garden. Reasons for Proposed Works: The cypress has grown excessively large for the size of the garden and is now causing structural damage to the adjacent brick boundary wall (pictures attached). The tree is situated very close to the building, posing a significant risk of damage to both my property and neighbouring buildings in the event of high winds or a storm. Additionally, the tree causes substantial loss of natural light to my property and neighbouring gardens throughout the whole day. Its dense canopy also attracts large numbers of pigeons, resulting in significant fouling and associated hygiene issues in the garden. For these reasons, I am seeking consent for the removal of the tree in the interests of safety, property protection, and residential amenity.

As published by the council, reference 25/07983/TCA
