Planning application
Grove End Gardens 33 Grove End Road London NW8 9LL
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
(T1) Sycamore ? Remove to ground level due to the tree being in a state of ongoing decline, exhibiting significant crown thinning and deadwood throughout the canopy. Given its location adjacent to a busy main road, removal and replacement is considered the safest and most appropriate management option. A suitable replacement tree will be planted in the same location.
