Planning application

17 Montpelier Square London SW7 1JR

Awaiting decision Westminster 26/06659/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

Rear T1 Magnolia x 1 (Magnolia spp) This magnolia has outgrown its location and is now due to be pruned as it blocks light from the garden. Suggested work: Reduce and shape all round by up to 2m to suitable growth points. Rear T2 Cherry x 1 (Prunus spp) This cherry is showing some signs of decline and has some deadwood throughout the crown. Suggested work: Reduce by up to 2m all round, to suitable growth points, to reduce the risk of branch failure and create an even shape. Remove dead wood.
