Planning application

FLAT 1, 100 COURT ROAD, ELTHAM, LONDON, SE9 5NS

Granted Greenwich 24/3259/TC Tree works in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

COPPER BEECH - FAGUS SYLVATICA PURPEREA (TAG NO 49 ON ATTACHED MAP) WORKS RELTING TO THIS APPLICATION: Fell and Remove Entire Tree REASON: This tree was assessed by Atworth Arboricultural Limited (See Report Attached) who found that the tree had an extensive cavity at 8m with associated significant decay. Further, the heavy die back in the crown indicates that the roots are affected by decay. Given the above, it was considered by Atworth that the integral structure of the tree is compromised and that it should be removed as soon as practically possible, particularly as the residents are unable to use the garden with the unsafe tree. It is planned for several new trees to be planted including, but not limited to, Red Robins and Silver Birch. However, given the suspected root rot of the existing Copper Beech, any new trees will be planted in different locations within the Estate. This planting will be carried out by a professional company commencing early 2025.

    T5 - Ash - FELL. Reason for works - Tree is in poor condition (basically a pole) and covered in ivy and is very unsightly. Removal will allow more room for the more established Ash trees that neighbour it to thrive.

    Elderflower tree (red square marked as '1' on location map). A structural survey of a large crack in our garage identified the elderflower tree as the root cause of instability in the foundations, and its removal as critical to avoid further damage. The structural survey comments are included with the application. After the removal is completed and 6 months have passed, we can then begin remediation work to the large crack. N.B. that the structural engineer identified the overgrown scrub in the area marked by the yellow box on the location map as also being a risk to the foundations of the garage row. This is on Crown Lands, and there has been nobody managing or caretaking for this land in 18 months+ since the prior lease-holder of the land finished their tenancy, leaving it to become somewhat out of control and now also impacting our garage stability. We are unsure of who or how to seek a solution for this issue.

    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.
