Planning application
13 Randolph Crescent London W9 1DP
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Rear of Property: T1 - Bay ? Reduce the crown by 1.5?2m, trim the sides to shape and balance, and cut back ivy on the main stem. T2 - Robinia ? Reduce the crown by 1.5?2m, lightly trim the sides, and remove any deadwood whilst retaining furnishing growth. This is to allow more light through the canopy and maintain the crown at a manageable size. T3 - Gleditsia ? Reduce the crown by 1?1.5m, crown thin by 20%, and remove any deadwood whilst retaining furnishing growth. This is to allow more light through the canopy and maintain the crown at a manageable size. T4 - Fig ? Cut back by 0.5m from the balcony and remove all epicormic growth. This is due to the tree encroaching on the building and to maintain the crown at a manageable size. Front of Property: T5 - Cherry ? Fell, stump grind, and replant with a more suitable species for the available space.
