  The tree in question is an Oak tree located in the front garden at 267 Kennington Road. It is currently the only tree present in this front garden. The application is to fell this Oak tree. The principle reason for felling is its proximity to the building structure of 267 Kennington Road and neighbouring properties. The tree is around 5m from the property and has a huge growth potential (around 45m in height). The beautiful terraced houses on Kennington Road are rightly conserved and as this tree grows its root system could disrupt the foundations of these properties. In addition, the base of the tree already lies very close to the old coal storage areas underneath the front garden where root damage is likely to start affecting the brickwork. Furthermore, this large tree and close proximity does and will cause excessive shading to the surrounding properties. Once felled, a new Cherry tree with a reduced growth potential will be planted in its place (height potential 4-8m). In my opinion this will provide an improved visual appearance of the conservation area and reduce the impact of structural damage within the conservation area.

  Loquat Fruit Tree (T1) to be felled. The tree's roots are causing significant damage to the underground soil pipe connecting 251 Kennington Road to the public network - refer to sewage survey "CCTV1544251." In addition, the tree produces a significant volume of fruit that falls directly onto the adjacent public pedestrian pavement. The scale of the fruit drop creates an ongoing public maintenance issue and potential slip hazard. As a replacement, a silver birch tree (T2) will be planted in the front garden away from the pavement.

  T1 & T2 - Two limes - crown Reduce height by 2m from 12m to 10m. Reduce laterals by 1.5m from 6m to 4.5m on all compass points, cutting back to the previous reduction points. Both are semi-mature limes standing to the rear of the property. The trees have been reduced previously and the regrowth from those earlier cuts has extended beyond the established points, carrying increasing end-weight on the resulting unions and taking the crown out of proportion with its position over the garden, the adjoining boundaries and the neighbouring buildings. The proposed works return the crown to the existing reduction points, in line with the works proposed for T3 and T4, retaining the tree in full along with its established shape and its contribution to the publicly visible canopy. T3 & T4 - Two limes - crown reduce Reduce height by 3m from 18m to 15m. Reduce laterals by 2m from 7m to 5m on all compass points, cutting back to the previous reduction points. Two mature limes standing to the rear of the property, one of a pair with T4. The trees has been reduced previously and is managed on a maintenance cycle; the regrowth from those earlier cuts has now extended well beyond the established points and is carrying increasing end-weight on the resulting unions, which are the weakest part of the structure. The proposed works return the crown to the existing reduction points, retaining the established shape and form of the tree and keeping it in proportion to its position over the garden and the adjoining boundaries.

  T1 Robinia sp. (x1) Reduce crown by 2.5-3m off height and width. Reason: Lost two stems in October. The branches had weak unions with the old pollard head, causing them to fail under their own weight. T2 Robinia sp. (x1) Reduce crown by 1.5m all around. Reason: To lessen the load on the crown. T3 Robinia sp. (x1) Reduce crown by 1m all around. Reason: To lessen the load on the crown.
