Planning application
45 Hamilton Terrace London NW8 9RG
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T008: Horse Chestnut - fell to ground level. The base and stem of tree is extensively colonised by Rigidoporus ulmarius. This causes a cubical brown rot of the wood, resulting in the hollowing of the stem and potential for whole tree failure at base. The brackets are tiered from the base of the tree up to at least 100mm up the stem. Due to the location and extent of the decay, it would not be safe to leave the tree standing.
