  REAR: ONE Ash (T1)(ht.8m) RE-POLLARD by 6m to previous pollard points. Reason: repeat maintenance. ONE: Holm Oak(T2) (ht.9m) REDUCE HEIGHT by 3m to 6m from 9m. LATERAL REDUCTION by2m from 5m to 3m. Reason: repeat maintenance. SIDE: ONE Holm Oak (T3)(ht.12m) REDUCE HEIGHT by 2m to10m from 12m. Reason: repeat maintenance. FRONT: ONE Holm Oak(T4)(ht.15m) reduce lateral growth from over No.6 Eliot Vale driveway by 2 meters from 5m to 3 meters (not a whole tree reduction). Reduce lateral branch over garage roof by 4 meters from 7m to 3 meters. Informative A: The sensitive management of the trees, particularly visually prominent T4, is greatly appreciated for landscape amenity, wildlife, wellbeing, and urban forest canopy for environmental benefits to mitigate the effects of climate change. Informative B: Wherever possible, please create habitat log piles in the garden from cut branches for wildlife and biodiversity.

  REAR: THREE Beech trees (T1, T2, T3) HEIGHT REDUCTION Ht by 4m from 22m to 18m. REMOVAL of 3 crossover branches at the bottom of each tree by approx 3m from 13m to 10m. REASON: Grown too tall, have long over hanging branches and branches are growing into each other competing with each other for light and water. This is effecting the health of the trees and garden beneath.. The trees make the garden very dark during the summer months making growing plants and the lawn very difficult. One of the trees also overhangs Pagoda Gardens footpath & road. All 3 trees overhang our neighbouring propoerty and they have asked us to apply to do wires in these trees to reduce the effect on their garden too. Informative A: The sensitive management of the trees is greatly appreciated for landscape amenity, wildlife, wellbeing, and urban forest canopy for environmental benefits to mitigate the effects of climate change. Informative B: Wherever possible, please create habitat log piles in the garden from cut branches for wildlife and biodiversity.

  Conifer 1: (see photo 1) Ht: 13m HEIGHT REDUCTION of up to 0.5 metres from 13m to 12.5m, LATERAL REDUCTION of up to 0.5m metre from 2.2m to 1.7m, dead wood removal. Conifer 2: (left tree in photo 2) Ht: 16m, HEIGHT REDUCTION of up to 3.5 metres, from 16m to 12.5m, LATERAL REDUCTION of 1m from 4.2m to 3.2m, dead wood removal. Conifer 3: (right tree on photo 2) Ht: 14.5m HEIGHT REDUCTION of up to 2 metres from 14.5m to 12.5m, LATERAL REDUCTION of up to 0.5metre from 2.2m to 1.7m, dead wood removal. Intention is to have all trees at equal height and reduce width to prevent overhang to adjacent buildings. Thank you for your advice on how to amend the application.

  REAR: ONE Conifer (T1)(ht.13m) REDUCE HEIGHT by 0.5m to ht.12.5m, LATERAL REDUCE by 0.5m from 2.2m to 1.7m, remove deadwood. ONE Conifer (T2)(ht.16m) REDUCE HEIGHT by 3.5m to ht.12.5m, LATERAL REDUCE by 1m from 4.2m to 3.2m, remove deadwood. ONE Conifer (T3)(ht:14.5m) REDUCE HEIGHT by 2m to ht.12.5m, LATERAL REDUCE by 0.5m from 2.2m to 1.7m, remove deadwood. Reason: to have all trees at equal height and reduce width to prevent overhang to adjacent buildings, improve general aesthetic and health of the trees. Informative A: the sensitive management of the trees for landscape amenity of Blackheath conservation area, urban forest canopy/urban greening, wellbeing, wildlife, environmental benefits and to mitigate the climate and biodiversity emergencies is greatly appreciated. Informative B: please use cut branches and deadwood in the garden to create habitat wood piles, and/ or a 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: please continue to plant trees, shrubs, hedges, climbers, perennials, bulbs and groundcover for varied garden landscape amenity, urban forest canopy, wildlife habitat, plants for pollinators, improve air quality.

  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.

  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.
