26/1876 - Tree Application - TPO Refused

Proposal

There a number of overgrown trees in the back gardens in St Andrews Avenue - area . This particular Horse chestnut tree is in the back garden of 11 St Andrews Avenue HA0 2QB. Please see attached map According to my estimation, this tree is at least 16 metres high and its spread is 11metres. I wish to cut back at least the 5 metres that overhang over my driveway and the roof of my property and if possible reduce the crown by 4 metres I intend to use a professional arborist to advise and carry out the works.

Site constraints 5

Article 4 direction
Article 4 for HMOs. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.
The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.
Air quality management area: Brent AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
