Planning application
42 DEVONSHIRE DRIVE, GREENWICH, LONDON, SE10 8JZ
Works: Trees Small domestic
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Prunus ssp. The tree belongs to the neighbour at number 40 Devonshire Drive but more than 50% of the canopy overhangs the garden at 42 Devonshire Drive, spanning almost to the opposite boundary wall and blocking light. The tree has damaged the boundary fence. Prune as close to the boundary as possible while retaining shape and form. Four new trees (Crataegus persimilis Prunifolia, Cercis canandensis 'Forest Pansy', 2 x Amelanchier lamarkii) and a new Fagus sylvatica hedge will be planted.

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.
