Awaiting decision Westminster 26/01265/TCA Applic. for works to trees in CA

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 & T2- 2 x Veteran London Plane Trees - Pollarding The two veteran London Planes require cyclical pollarding in line with their historic management regime. Pollarding will involve reducing the canopy back by circa 2.5m, retaining the existing pollard framework. T3, T4, T5- 3 x Sycamore Trees - Crown Reduction and ivy removal. The Sycamores will be pruned back to suitable growth points and reduced in height by approximately 1.5m metre, 1m laterally. The reduction will be carried out evenly throughout the canopy to maintain natural form and structural integrity. T6, T7, T8, T9- 4 x Lime Trees- Pollarding The four Lime trees are to be pollarded to appropriate and sustainable growth points 1.5m overall. This will reduce overall canopy size while maintaining a balanced and structurally sound framework for regrowth. Reason for works: General tree maintenance
