Planning application
4 MARY LAWRENSON PLACE, LONDON, SE3 7AY
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Removal of one Leylandii, which is the central one of a bank of 3 (Tree 2* on the sketch plan), located at the rear of the property. The trees were planted very close together, and as they have matured, this has resulted in overcrowding and affected the healthy growth of them. I am only seeking approval to remove the central tree, at this time. None of the trees can be seen from the road.

CEDAR COTTAGE, 20 HEATHWAY, BLACKHEATH, LONDON, SE3 7AN
(T1) (T12 on TPO schedule) Dead Cedar: section fell to ground level Tree is completely dead, which has happened suddenly. After a brief conversation with the owners, it seems that the whole area may be suffering from Honey Fungus. They have lost a recently planted Birch and had another Cedar suddenly die a few years ago. Customers said the garden is often covered in mushrooms at certain times of the year. They are keen to replant but I have suggested doing some investigation first to prevent future planting from perishing. Height 9.0m Crown spread 6.0m

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.
