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.

The property is in Greenwich Westcombe Park conservation area and the dead tree/shrub does not have a Tree preservation order. There is a Mount Etna Broom (Genista aetnensis) which died over the course of the spring/summer 2024. It is in the Front Garden beside the front elevation of the house. 3 M from the pavement. It is positioned on the left of 9 Vanbrugh Hill property adjoining the hedge I shared with the neighbour, No. 7. It is about 15 feet high and the trunk diameter at 1.5 m from the ground is 25 cm. There is no sign of life at any point either at the base or higher up on the subsidiary branches. The tree is dead and I seek your approval needs to cut down and remove this Broom for safety reasons.

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.
