Awaiting decision Westminster 26/05719/TCA Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Front Garden T1 - Holly - Reduce the crown by approximately 0.75 metres and reshape to achieve a balanced, natural crown profile. T2 - Cabbage Palm - Remove dead fronds from the crown, taking care to avoid damage to the trunk and remaining healthy fronds. Rear Garden T3 - Conifer Group - Undertake sensitive crown pruning to establish a consistent height and lateral profile across the group, creating a uniform appearance. The growth encroaching towards the property will be pruned back to suitable live growth and retaining sufficient green foliage. Reason for works: - General tree maintenance
