Planning application

43 HAREFIELD ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1LW

Granted Lewisham DC/19/113804 Trees in Conservation Areas

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

REAR: ONE Apple (T1) HEIGHT REDUCTION by 1m from 5m to 4m & LATERAL REDUCTION by 1m from 2.5m to 1.5m at all compass points. REAR: ONE Apple (T2) HEIGHT REDUCTION by 2m from 8m to 6m & LATERAL REDUCTION by 2m from 5m to 3m at the W compass point. REAR: ONE Cherry (T3) HEIGHT REDUCTION by 1.25m from 4.75m to 3.5m & LATERAL REDUCTION by 1m from 4m to 3m at all compass points. REAR: TWO Apple (T4 & T5) FELL REAR: TWO Beech (T6 ? dead, exempt & T7) FELL REAR: ONE Alder (T8) FELL REAR: ONE Pittosporum (T9) FELL Reason: the neglected rear garden is being redesigned retaining T1,T2,T3 fruit trees with crown reduction, removing T4-T9 as these small trees with stem diameters less than 150mm at 1.5m above ground level, have poor form or are dead, shrub hazel is being re-coppiced and voluntary replacement tree planting is proposed. Informative: replacement tree planting is noted with thanks. An ultimately large canopy tree would be a most welcome inclusion to ensure the urban tree canopy is maintained to provide ecosystem services including wildlife habitat, air pollution reduction and climate change mitigation. Many of the boroughs larger trees are located at the ends of rear gardens where there is space distant from property and outbuildings for these trees to develop and mature.

  • DC/26/144936 Granted

    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.
