Planning application
HAVELOCK HOUSE, HONOR OAK ROAD, LONDON, SE23 3SA
Works: Trees
Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.
Proposal
1) Horse Chestnut (T10). To fell to near ground level (due to various fungal decay brackets up stems and around base). 2) Lime (T4). Reduce height / crown by approximately 3 - 4 metres (crown is rather itoliated / overly tall and exposed and will become more exposed when the adjacent tree is reduced). 3) Sycamore (T3). Cut back to clear building by 4 metres and reduce in top and remainder of crown to balance by 3 - 4 metres. 4) Robinia (T22). Reduce entire tree back to live growth points in order to retain tree in a safe condition and size (the crown has lots of dieback throughout and there is a large amount of decay at the base of twin stems). 5) Lime (T11). Remove major dead wood greater than 3 cm diameter. 6) Horse Chestnut (1 of G2). Remove major dead wood greater than 3 cm diameter. 7) Holm Oak (T12). Remove major dead wood greater than 3 cm diameter.
