Planning application
56 RIEFIELD ROAD, ELTHAM, LONDON, SE9 2QB
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
single limb growing from the lower part of the canopy of an English Oak (Quercus robur) which is located in the garden of number 56 Riefield rd. Labelled 'tree 1' The limb overhangs the adjacent garden of number 58. The limb has previously been reduced to a lateral growth point, with the pruning wound showing minimal signs of occlusion. The remaining growth protrudes from beneath the canopy, suggesting phototropism. This means that a sizeable amount of load is being applied to a potential point of failure. The proposed works are limited to the reduction of this limb by no more than three metres in order to reduce the weight and loading, by bringing it back in line with the general spread of the canopy. All cuts would be to suitable growth points in accordance with BS3998.

WHITEHOUSE, 34B FOYLE ROAD, LONDON, SE3 7RH
The very large white popular (Populus alba) has a large limb growing over the property roof. The end of the limb has a large rot pocket it and the rotten centre has fallen out nearly hitting the residents child playing under the tree. There is still a lot of growth and weight on the end of the limb and there is a very strong fear the limb may fail either damaging the property or hitting the residents child playing of family in the driveway. I strongly suggest the limb is reduced by around 2mtrs back to sound wood again to eliminate the risk of future snap outs. As this work is extremely high priority can I request it on a 5 day emergency decision.

Fell Olive tree in raised front garden very close to the side wall of the garage. A structural surveyor noted that the root system of the tree is pushing against this wall, and has caused cracks to appear, and indicated that the removal of this tree is necessary to preserve the wall from further damage.
