Planning application
94 ALBYN ROAD, LONDON, SE8 4ED
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
REAR: ONE Laurel (T1) CROWN REDUCTION by 1.5m from 5.5m to 4m & LATERAL REDUCTION by 1.5m from 5.5m to 4m. Reason: to manage to appropriate size within the narrow rear garden. REAR: ONE Horse Chestnut (T2)(approx.ht.10-12m) FELL. Reason: large basal cavity, health and safety. Voluntary replacement is proposed with native species such as whitebeam or field maple. Informative: the offer of a voluntary replacement tree is greatly welcomed with thanks as trees at the ends of rear gardens frequently have the space to develop into the boroughs larger canopy trees which are important for urban forest ecosystem services and for climate change mitigation. The replacement tree will contribute to the railsides, which are designated as green corridor, and to the green rear outlook for nearby residents and pupils at the St Stephen's Primary School.

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

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.
