• HOSFORD HOUSE, 48 DEVONSHIRE ROAD, LONDON, SE23 3SU

  DC/19/113976 Submitted 24 Sep 2019 50 yards away

  REAR: ONE Sycamore (T1) CROWN REDUCTION by 3m from ht.15m to 12m, LATERAL REDUCTION by 3m from 7m to 4m at the W compass point. Reason: to improve one-sided crown shape influenced by adjacent trees now gone. Informative: Duty to replace (Para 121 of Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas guidance) regarding the adjacent rear trees which have fallen over and been removed, the owner has a duty to plant another tree of an appropriate size and species at the same place 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. In times of Climate Emergency declared by Lewisham Council in March 2019 and to support the urban forest canopy it would be greatly appreciated if consideration can be given to planting a replacement tree in the rear garden.

  DC/25/142317 Submitted 2 Dec 2025 50 yards away

  REAR: ONE Sycamore (T1)(ht.14m) FELL. Reason: cracks in the structure are suggested likely caused by the tree's roots, no site investigation reports, to replace with a tree less water demanding further from the house near the end of the rear garden. Informative A: it is unfortunate no recent site investigation has been provided to ensure the felling is justified - soil type, foundation depth, and level monitoring to establish the cause of the cracks in the rear elevation - the submitted engineers letter in 2021 explains site investigation is usual to investigate if a tree is causing seasonal downward movement in summer which recovers slightly in winter/spring, or if movement is caused by a damaged drain which would be steady and not vary with the seasons, or if cracks are caused by the building's conversion into 8x flats, or by historical bomb damage in WW2. Informative B: the proposed replacement tree planting is hugely appreciated and suggest species from the NHBC 4.2.4 low water demand species list such as Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), hornbeam, birch, holly to be planted towards the end of the rear garden away from buildings. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
