Planning application
32 Blomfield Road London W9 1AA
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 - Leylandii - Reduce the height of the tree by 4 to 5m and where/if necessary bring the sides in by 1 to 2m if needed. The tree is a very mature and tall, stands at approximately 15 to 20m tall. Reducing the height would improve stability as it would reduce its exposure to wind and the leverage exerted on its trunks and roots as well as allowing more light into the gardens and neighbouring properties.

T1 Betula jacquemontii- Fell- This tree has out grown its position in the small herbacious border and garden, it is blocking light and the roots are suppressing the growth of other ornamental shrubs and trees- The owner would like to remove it before it gets any larger- a poor choice for such a small garden, also blocking the view in to Green park. T2 Prunus sp.- Fell As above , in addition the trees lower branches have been removed and now has impaired form, is being suppressed by the London Plane tree and it has very few blossoms in the spring. If nessessary the tree owner would be prepared to replace the two trees with a more suitable tree
