Summary
The applicant proposes to fell a False Acacia tree (T2) at 42A Woodville Gardens to near ground level, then treat the stump to stop it regrowing. The stated reason is that the tree may be contributing to clay shrinkage subsidence damage at a neighbouring property. The property sits within the Ealing Cricket Ground conservation area in the Hanger Hill ward. There are around 68 homes nearby. Ada Lovelace Church of England High School is about a 1-minute walk away. In conservation areas, trees are protected and any felling requires notification to the council. A Heritage Impact Assessment has been flagged as missing from the submitted documents. The council will consider whether the loss of the tree is justified and whether it would harm the character of the conservation area.
