There are two self-seeded sycamore trees directly adjacent the property wall of the 19 Fremont Street property on Templecombe Road. The wall is constructed from brick and is in poor condition. The wall falls broadly along the property line, but it has been notched – the wall notch has been constructed around the trees, though the trees in fact fall within the property line of 19 Fremont Street. The trees are causing structural damage to the wall. The surveyor's report included with this application notes the damage to the rear wall: 'The wall is in poor condition due to the close proximity of a tree that has caused the movement. This area of the wall could collapse at any point and should be taken down and replaced.' (Heyes survey report page 18) We would like to fell the two trees, and grub out the stubs, to allow us to rebuild the wall along the property line. We propose planting a black mulberry tree in a similar location in our back garden to replace the sycamores. The sycamores are causing a nuisance, whereas the black mulberry offers more bio-diversity for the immediate area. We enclose a sketch plan showing the existing trees, and a sketch plan with our proposal for planting a new tree. Also enclosed is the title deed map showing the property line, and a survey report identifying the damage to the rear wall.

Decision due ~6 Jul
Fell T1 (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana – Lawson Cypress) An early mature tree situated within an area of hard surfacing. Reason: The tree has outgrown its immediate location, being surrounded by patio and restricted rooting conditions. Tree excessively blocks light to property and neighbouring properties while also causing damage to adjoining property fence line, and causes issues with drainage and gutter blockages, resulting in damp issues at neighbouring property. Due to its limited arboricultural quality and constrained growing environment it has been categorised as C1 in accordance with BS5837:2012 Applicant is happy to replace tree with a more suitably sized native species or ones known to provide benefits to local wildlife and species which are not considered invasive in Hackney.
