Why it was refused

  1. The trees are located to the rear of 9 and 11 Rushdene Road, Eastcote. The mature oak's appear to be in good condition and positively contribute to the arboreal nature of the area. The trees can be viewed from neighboring properties and are partially visible from Rushdene Road. The condition and stature of the trees give them a high amenity value. This application has been refused, as the proposed removal of both trees is considered disproportionate at this stage. Evidence suggests that other vegetation located closer to the affected structure may be contributing to the observed ground movement, and this has not yet been fully addressed. At present, two seasons of level monitoring data have been submitted, which indicate a pattern of seasonal movement. However, this data is insufficient to conclusively demonstrate that the subject trees are the primary cause, particularly given the presence of nearer vegetation. Should further level monitoring be carried out following the removal or management of any closer vegetation, and if a consistent seasonal movement pattern continues to be identified, the Council may be prepared to reconsider this position within the context of a future application. Having regard to the reasons given for the proposed work, the work is unjustified and will have a detrimental impact on the visual amenity and arboreal character of the area.
  2. The removal of deadwood, dangerous / hanging branches and ivy: This does not require the formal consent of the Council.
