LAND AT THE CORNER OF PERRY VALE AND, DACRES ROAD, LONDON, SE23 2XW

FRONT: ONE dead Maple stem (TPO T1) (approx.ht.8-9m) FELL or reduce to safe height if possible for wildlife and biodiversity benefits, least disturbance to wildlife during bird nesting season, and soft fell to leave stem on the ground to enable any roosting bats to make their way out. Reason: tree appears to have been dead for some time and is covered by dense ivy, which is also intertwined with the adjacent ash tree (TPO T2). REPLANTING PROPOSAL: either a Tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) or Japanese Pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum). The London Borough of Lewisham (Land opposite the front gardens of 88-96 Perry Vale SE23 2LQ) Tree Preservation Order 2013. Location: land opposite front gardens of 88-96 Perry Vale, corner with Dacres Road. Informative A: the landowner has a duty to plant a replacement tree if a TPO tree is removed, uprooted or destroyed in contravention of the order or because it is dead or presents an immediate risk of serious harm, ref. Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas, government guidance 6 March 2014, para 79, 80 and 153; Section 206 of Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended). Informative B: replacement tree planting proposal of either Tulip Tree or Japanese Pagoda tree is hugely appreciated for amenity, wildlife, rainwater run-off mitigation and shade to reduce increasingly high and frequent summers due to climate change ? see below for further details. Informative C: newly planted TPO tree and the other 3 TPO trees to have soil amelioration following removal of concrete hardstanding ref. ENF/25/00083: spread mycorrhizal inoculants and biochar or preferably enriched biochar over the RPAs and brush into forked holes or inject into the soil, drench the soil in the RPAs with a compost tea, and spread a 50mm deep mulch over the RPAs clear of the base of tree stems. Informative D: The Bat Conservation Trust advises checking thoroughly for roosting bats before and during tree works with soft fell process followed to proceed with care and with cut timber left grounded over night to allow any bats to make their way out, tree works ideally during Sept/Oct to avoid maternity and hibernation seasons when bats are most vulnerable to disturbance. Informative E: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

T1 Beech: Fell - The main concern is that the tree is moribund and that branches are beginning to fail and are a high risk to the road, neighbour's and front driveway use. There is also a risk of tree failure as the tree weakens as it dies, and holding roots become desiccated or diseased. (TPO 32, 2008)

3 x silver birch (T1, T2, T3): Fell Reasons: T1 is set back from the road and is not prominent in public views. Removal of T1 would benefit the larger cedar tree adjacent, that is also protected by the same TPO and is the key arboricultural feature of the property and the TPO, the silver birch is limiting the growth and development of lower branches of the cedar on this side. The removal of the silver birch (T1) should allow the cedar to develop a fuller and better-balanced canopy. T2 is drawn-up and has a slight lean towards the road. It also has a large girdling root at the base. A metal probe can also be inserted below the base of the T2 by almost it?s full length of 450mm. This is more likely a void below the buttress roots of the tree rather than a decay related cavity but combined with the girdling root, lean and drawn up crown raises concerns on the overall structure of the tree. T3 is suppressed by T2, with an unbalanced crown structure. The telephone wire runs under the canopy of T2 and through the crown of T3, I have been informed that branches often fall on the telephone wire. Replace with 2 x Liquidambar Styraciflua (Sweet Gum). Heavy standard size (12 to 14cm girth at 1m and at least 3.5m tall).
