Planning application
Flat 1 191 Randolph Avenue London W9 1DJ
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
We would like to reduce the 2 large Plane trees T1 and T2 in the rear garden by about 3 metres back to previous points whilst leaving furnishing growth for crown continuity. Also to thin the canopy by about 15-20%. This will allow more light in to the gardens and to minimise root expansion. We would like to reduce the 2 Lime trees T3 T4 in the front of the property by about 2-3 metres as the trees are outgrowing their location and limiting the light in to the properties. The root expansion also needs to be minimised as they are growing close to the properties.
