Planning application
76 ST JOHNS PARK, BLACKHEATH, LONDON, SE3 7JP
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 and T2 Lime trees (13m high): Fell to ground level Both trees exhibit significant structural defects including large basal cavities at the root collar extending into the lower stem. These cavities indicate advanced decay within the load bearing section of the trees and are likely associated with historic damage and subsequent fungal degradation of structural wood. Decay at the base of the stem is a critical defect as it compromises the structural integrity of the tree at its primary support point. The extent of the cavities suggests a reduction in the trees ability to safely withstand normal wind loading. In addition, both trees display poor structural form with elongated stems and limited crown development, indicating reduced vitality and long term viability. The trees provide limited arboricultural or landscape value and are unlikely to develop into structurally sound specimens.
