Planning application

Flats 1 To 60 North Gate Prince Albert Road London NW8 7RD

Awaiting decision Westminster 26/03356/TPO Applic. for wks to trees subject to TPO

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Fell Purple Leaf Plum to ground Level. This tree is now leaning quite badly towards path and crossing, with visible Ganoderma bracket on the trunk. Over the last 2-3 years, several dead branches have broken off on to pathway or hung down in pedestrians walk way. This week a large and heavily decayed top section has snapped out and fallen onto path near road crossing. The tree has been in decline for 5-6 years now. With it's condition and proximity to walkway, road and road crossings we feel it would be safer to remove this tree. We'd like to replace it with a Cherry or another Puple Plum 10-12cm diameter.

As published by the council, reference 26/03356/TPO

    Lords Cricket Ground St John's Wood Road London NW8 8QZ

    2 lime trees located to the west of the Allen Stand and north of Lords Tavern, by the Grace Gate entrance from St John's Wood Road. These trees are noted as T7 and T8 on attached plans and reports. Roots belonging to both trees were severed during excavations for service trenches associated with construction of the Allen Stand on site. Static load tests were carried out to both trees in April 2026, which flagged T7 as having an insufficient safety factor. T7 was therefore recommended for a 3m reduction in height to reduce the risk of failure. Due to T7 and T8 forming a continuous canopy, T8 has also been recommended for the same specification of reduction to prevent exposing its crown to excessive wind loading.

    208 Randolph Avenue London W9 1PF

    T3 ? Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), located in the rear garden of 208 Randolph Avenue, London W9 1PF. Proposed works: Fell T3 Sycamore to ground level and remove the resulting timber and arisings. The tree has been classified as Category U in the Arboricultural Implications Assessment (Report J69.34, dated 12 October 2026) prepared by Broad Oak Tree Consultants. The assessment identifies significant basal decay, a basal cavity, structural deterioration and crown dieback. The report recommends pollarding at approximately 8 metres or felling. Full removal is proposed due to the tree's poor structural condition and associated safety concerns.
