  • DC/20/115527 Granted

    101 WALLER ROAD, LONDON, SE14 5LB

    The proposed construction of a single storey rear extension at 101 Waller Road SE14, together with the replacement of rear bay windows, installation of a wood burning stove, proposed new front steps, front railings and Black timber bin storage to the front elevation.

    Decided 4 Sep 2020 Householder
  • DC/20/115397 Granted

    101 WALLER ROAD, LONDON, SE14 5LB

    REAR: ONE Plum (T2)(ht.7m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 2m to approx.5m, REDUCE RADIUS by 0.3m to approx. 1-2m on all compass points. Reason: routine maintenance. REAR: ONE Bay (T3)(ht.5m) FELL. Reason: close to property. REAR: ONE Cherry (T4)(ht.7m) FELL. Reason: close to property.

    Decided 27 Feb 2020 Trees
  • DC/19/114371 Granted

    101 WALLER ROAD, LONDON, SE14 5LB

    REAR: ONE Hawthorn (T1)(approx.ht.6m) FELL. Reason: completely ivy covered, many dead branches, fungal decay, close to rear of properties, overhanging two rear gardens. Not safe. Health and safety concerns. Informative: Duty to replace - the owner has a duty to plant another tree of an appropriate size and species in a suitable place nearby as soon as he or she reasonably can, if a tree in a conservation area is removed because it is dead or presents an immediate risk of serious harm under 5 Day Notice. (Para 121 of Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas guidance). It is noted with thanks that replacement broadleaved tree(s) are planned and will be maintained. This is hugely appreciated in times of Climate Emergency declared by Lewisham Council in March 2019 and to support the urban forest canopy. A replacement hawthorn further down the garden away from property would be beneficial for wildlife. Informative: Where a tree is on the boundary and is the joint responsibility of the applicant and the neighbour, or where consent is sought for trees on adjacent properties, any necessary agreements or permissions from the owner(s) need to be obtained before carrying out any tree work that may be permitted by the LPA. The cut off parts of the tree remain the owner's property and should be offered back.

    Decided 24 Oct 2019 Trees

    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

    45A DEVONSHIRE ROAD, LONDON, SE23 3EN

    FRONT: ONE False Acacia tree (T2) Ht 10m FELL to ground level and treat stump with eco plugs (broadleaved). REASON: Proposed as a remedy to the differential foundation movement at the insured property and to ensure the long-term stability of the building. The above tree works are proposed to limit the extent and need for expensive and disruptive 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.

    249A KIRKDALE, LONDON, SE26 4QD

    FRONT: THREE Lime (T1,T2,T3)(ht.7-8m) carefully re pollard the crown back to old points aproximately 3 metres of regrowth FRONT: ONE hornbeam (T4)(ht.8m) reduce the overall size of crown by 3 metres. These trees are causing excessive shading

  • DC/26/144984 Granted

    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.
