Two trees proposed for felling at 72 Barn Hill, Wembley

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner wants to fell two trees in the garden — a Leylandii and a Holly. Both would be cut to ground level. The council has already approved this work. The property is a 1930s maisonette in Barn Hill, Wembley, in a protected historic area. About 11 nearby homes have a direct view of where the trees stand. Most surrounding properties are shielded by other buildings. Leylandii trees draw a lot of water from the ground. This area has clay-rich soil, which can swell when trees are removed and the soil gets wetter again. This could affect the foundations of the property and neighbouring homes.

What you can do

This application (reference 26/1507) has already been approved. You can view the decision on the Brent Council planning portal. If you plan any tree work of your own in this protected area, you must notify the council before you start.
