  FRONT: ONE Sycamore (T1)(ht.8m) FELL. Reason: at the front of the estate is a dead sycamore tree close to the front boundary and the public footpath. The tree is dead and presents a safety risk to residents and general public. Duty to replace applies. Informative A: duty applies to plant replacement trees for dead trees in conservation areas, suggested species to replace the dead sycamore: Robinia, whitebeam, paperbark maple, Magnolia Kobus, wild service tree, hawthorn, crab apple, pear, mulberry for streetscape amenity. Informative B: a second replacement tree is encouraged for the adjacent dead holly, felled ref DC/21/123404, to maintain front tree amenity. Informative C: retaining safe standing dead stem or high stump is encouraged together with creating habitat log piles from arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

  FRONT: ONE Eucalyptus (T1)(ht.6m) FELL and replace. Reason: fasting growing tree growing against property, to replace with more appropriate planting. Informative A: the proposed replacement planting is greatly appreciated as the property backs onto railsides which are designated Green Corridor and Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC). Informative B: suggested native species for the replacement tree in the front garden area are: crab apple, pear, hawthorn, holly, Wild Service tree, whitebeam, field maple, wild cherry, Amelanchier, alder, birch, bird cherry, small leaved lime.

  REAR: ONE Beech (T1)(ht.13m,r.8m) HEIGHT REDUCE by 3m to ht.10m, LATERAL REDUCE spread by 2m from r.8m to r.6m. Reason: light issues, reduction to manage within the garden setting. Informative A: the property is adjacent to the railside designated green corridor and Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC). Therefore the sensitive management to retain the beech for rear amenity, urban greening, wildlife, environment, wellbeing and climate change mitigation benefits is greatly appreciated.

  43 DEVONSHIRE ROAD, LONDON, SE23 3EN

  FRONT: ONE Lime tree (T1) Ht 15m FELL to ground level & treat stump REASON: A remedy to the differential foundation movement at the insured property and to ensure the long-term stability of the building. To limit the extent and need for expensive and disruptive engineering repair works at the insured property. To limit the extent and need for costly CO2e emissions relating to alternative engineering repair works at the insured property. It is the case that an alternative to felling such as pruning or significant 'pollarding' of the tree would not provide a reliable or sustainable remedy to the subsidence in this case. We do not consider that any other potential means of mitigation, including root barriers, would be effective or appropriate in the circumstances. We are satisfied that the evidence obtained following completion of our Arboricultural Implication Assessment report completed 31/01/2024 clearly links the Lime T1 and False Acacia T2 as the cause of damage to the risk address. REPLANTING: Insurers understanding the requirement to offer replacement planting in the event consent to fell is granted. 43 DEVONSHIRE ROAD TREE PRESERVATION ORDER 2024 DC/24/135159

  9 EXETER PLACE, LONDON, SE26 6AB

  REAR (fronting Wells Park Rd) ONE Sycamore (T2, in TPO A1)(ht.12-14m) FELL by dismantling to safe standing stem or high stump. Reason: health & safety, the tree is in severe physiological and structural decline, leaning towards the road, several branches have already failed, and although a small amount of live growth remains, the tree has no meaningful long-term viability, the significantly compromised structure presents an unacceptable risk of further branch or whole-tree failure onto highway. The proposed removal is necessary to eliminate the risk. The replacement tree is to be a large canopy species planted as near as practicable to the original location. The County of London (Lewisham No.2) Tree Preservation Order, 1957. Informative A: thank you for proposing 4x replacement trees, 1x is required to be a large canopy tree to replace the TPO tree and to maintain the treed boundary character to Wells Park Road for public streetscape amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change ? Hornbeam, Hop hornbeam, sessile oak, Japanese Pagoda Tree, walnut (Juglans regia), Italian alder or grey alder, Caucasian Elm (Zelkova carpinifolia), small leaved lime, Hackberry (Celtis australis), Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna), Kentucky Coffee Tree (Gymnocladus dioica) - see further planting details below. Informative B: thank you for planting additional voluntary trees for screening, to improve species diversity, and the setting of the property. Informative C: thank you also for looking to retain a safe standing stem/high stump and creating habitat log piles with some dead wood arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

  12 PRINCETHORPE ROAD, LONDON, SE26 4PF

  REAR: ONE Lombardy Poplar (T1)(ht.16m) CROWN REDUCE by 10-11m to ht.5-6m, REDUCE SPREAD from 10m to 5m to create new pollard. Reason: multi-stemmed tree has had a major stem failure exposing large cavity approx.2m above gd level. Remaining stem above cavity is weighted towards neighbouring properties and a crown reduction to reduce weight and sail above cavity is urgently needed to minimise risk of future failures. Merely reducing the one stem would drastically change the balance of the overall canopy and exposure to wind would be likely to cause more failures on the remaining stems. Crown reduction is required for safety to reduce overall canopy to approximately 5-6m from ground level (please see annotated photo) to create a new pollard. Informative A: thank you for managing the tree by safe reduction to retain as a low pollard for rear amenity, wildlife and canopy shade to reduce heatwave temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
