  4 ST MARGARET'S ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1YU

  REAR: ONE Lombardy Poplar (T1)(ht.17m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 5m from 17m to 12m, spread by 2m from 6m to 4m, CROWN THIN by 25 % Reason: reduction on all laterals and verticals, back to appropriate growth points, previously reduced, part of regular maintenance. REAR: ONE Lombardy Poplar (T2)(ht.10m) FELL. Reason: permission to fell was granted in 2017 (DC/17/104017) due to large basal decay cavity but works not carried out. Replanting proposed with an Acer within the rear garden. Informative A: the replacement tree is greatly appreciated, suggest such as Paperbark maple (Acer griseum), rather than Acer japonica which is prone to leaf scorch, other suitable species are such as: crab apple, hawthorn, Laburnum, pear (Pyrus communis), quince (Cydonia oblonga), hazel, Amelanchier, Magnolia Kobus, elder. Informative B: huge thank you for retaining T1 for amenity, wildlife, to reduce air pollution and to provide shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative C: please leave a safe standing trunk of T2 and create habitat log piles with some arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative D: The Bat Conservation Trust advises checking thoroughly for roosting bats before and during tree works with soft fell process followed to proceed with care and with cut timber left grounded over night to allow any bats to make their way out, tree works ideally during Sept/Oct to avoid maternity and hibernation seasons when bats are most vulnerable to disturbance.

Lewisham granted permission on 12 July 2019, subject to any conditions on the decision notice. Work must normally begin within three years or the permission lapses. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

An amendment application makes limited changes to a permission that already exists; anything beyond modest adjustment needs a fresh application. More in our guide to planning application types.

  REAR: ONE Ash (T1) FELL (approx.ht.8m) and replace with Silver Birch or other small tree. (Reason: The Australian Fraxinus angustifolia 'Raywood' is a fast growing tree. It has outgrown the space, is near boundary fence and neighbour's wall, has poor form and is supressing a cherry and birch. Previous crown reduction has resulted in poor branch form and the tree has quickly regrown). Informative: it is noted with thanks that a voluntary replacement small species tree is proposed and suggest other trees to consider, in addition to birch, are: crab apple, magnolia, flowering cherry, Tibetan cherry, Judas tree, standard pear, hawthorn, snowy mespilus.
