Planning application
LAND BETWEEN 76-78 STRAIGHTSMOUTH, GREENWICH, LONDON, SE10 9LD
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
FELL self sown sycamore tree, labelled 1 on the plan (It is proposed to gradually remove the tree over a period of three years, to avoid heave, by first reducing it by 50%, then by 25% and a final 25%, leaving the stump in situ) - too close to 78 and is causing damage to the drains and appears unstable during windy weather- we would like to plant two smaller trees within the area to replace the sycamore. In addition, we will be planting a wide variety of other shrubs and plants which would improve the biodiversity of the area. There are many other trees located just behind the sycamore belonging to James Wolfe school, so removing this tree would not create a visual gap in the greenery of the neighbourhood.

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.
