Planning application
OUTSIDE 89 BLACKHEATH PARK, BLACKHEATH, LONDON, SE3 0EU
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 Hybrid Oak. This is a BCER-owned street tree adjacent to the boundary of no.89 Blackheath Park. We ask permission for a 2m reduction (from 7m to 5m radial spread) of branches back to suitable growth points on all compass directions on the lower half of the canopy. Nothing to be removed off the height or the upper half of the canopy. Our aim is to discourage more lower lateral growth, which is the problem. Also the removal of the lowest few tertiary branches above the garden building and over the road.

Front garden: Holm oak (Quercus ilex) (t1): thin inner canopy max 20% to clean main stem to ensure good health and improve light. Cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera) (t2): dismantle to ground level due to proximity to building, damage to garden wall, lifting of pathway slab and possible future damage to property and amenities caused by shallow root system e.g. man hole cover situated under slab at base of tree. Client is also concerned for future hard landscaping plans for the pathway being unable to go ahead due to shallow roots and is also struggling to deal with the amount of leaf litter and fruit clogging the gutters. Client is disappointed to have to remove the tree and is very keen to replant in a more suitable location. Rear garden: Silver birch (Betula pendula) (t3): light thin up to 20% to clean main stem to ensure good health and for aesthetic value.
