  FRONT to Lee Terrace: ONE Pollard POPLAR (T1) FELL. Reason: This tree is T2 in 5 day exemption notice DC/19/112927 ? granted 04/07/2019 to remove the large dead top. Further inspection has revealed the tree is approx. 90% hollow to the ground with insufficient sound holding wood to retain. Voluntary replacement tree proposed. FRONT to Lee Terrace: ONE Pollard POPLAR (T2) FELL. Reason: climbing inspection of the large stem cavity approx.6m above ground level reveals the tree is 90% hollow to the base with insufficient sound holding wood to retain for the future. Voluntary replacement tree proposed. Informative: The offer of replacement trees for the poplars is greatly welcomed with thanks as this will retain the tree lined boundary character and street amenity of Lee Terrace.

  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.
