  REFECTORY COURT, (FORMELY DOWE HOUSE), THE GLEBE, LONDON, SE3 9TU

  FRONT (Lee Terrace): TWO dead Poplar pollards (ht.12m) FELL and replace, duty to replace with 2 trees applies. Informative A: the proposed replacement tree planting under duty to replace is greatly appreciated for treed site boundary, Lee Terrace streetscape amenity and maintaining the landscape character of this part of the Blackheath conservation area. Tree decline in recent years has reduced the line of 6/7 feature pollard poplars along site frontage with Lee Terrace. These are the last 2 remaining original trees. Please see below for further details of replacement trees, species selection and reminder of previous replacement planting under duty to replace and agreed voluntary tree planting. Informative B: the landowner has a duty to plant a replacement tree when a tree in a conservation area is removed because it is dead, or presents an immediate risk of serious harm, para 121 Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas, government guidance 6 March 2014. Informative C: you are encouraged to retain safe standing stems for habitat holes or high stumps and/or create habitat log piles for wildlife and biodiversity - especially for habitat for the nationally endangered stag beetle which has a strong hold in SE London. Other tree replacements to be checked for survival are from DC/21/120660 - 1 duty to replace tree, DC/19/113251 - 2 voluntary replacement trees agreed, DC/19/112927 - 1 duty to replace tree.

  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.
