Awaiting decision Westminster 26/05997/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

T816 - Betula pendula (Silver Birch): Reduce crown by specified extent - back to the most recent, previous reduction points, reducing the height by around 3 m and the branch length by around 1.5 m, to minimise the risk of branch failure and maintain the crown within reasonable proportions for the courtyard environment.
