REASON FOR DECISION
The trees being removed are diseased.
T355 & T338 - Sycamore X 2 - Fell
The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea stipulates that in this case two 14-16cm trees of a species to be agreed with Garden managers as outlined in BS3936 (Nursery Stock Part 1 Specification for Trees and Shrubs) or BS 5236 (Recommendations for cultivation and planting of trees in Advanced Nursery Stock Category) shall be planted as a replacement. If the tree(s) is removed outside the planting season the new tree shall be planted in the next planting season following removal (the planting season runs from 1 November to 31 March). If it is removed during the planting season the new tree shall be planted in the same planting season.
If, within five years of the date of planting, the replacement tree/s dies, is removed or becomes seriously dangerous or diseased, it shall be replaced in the next planting season with another tree/s of the same size and species.
