Crown reduction proposed for four trees in front and rear gardens

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The application proposes reducing the size of four trees at this address. In the front garden, an apple tree would have its crown cut back by one to two metres and cleared from telephone wires. In the rear garden, three trees — a eucalyptus, a plum, and a mimosa — would each have their crowns reduced by two to four metres.

The property sits in a protected historic area on Westbridge Road, Battersea. A protected old building — 2 and 4 Westbridge Road — stands about a minute's walk away. The River Thames is also nearby, about a five-minute walk.

The proposed works are described as containing the growth of the trees and reducing nuisance for neighbours. The council will consider whether the work is appropriate for the trees in this location.
