  REAR: ONE Poplar (T4)(approx.ht.25m) FELL and replace. Reason: tree likely to be causing clay shrinkage subsidence issues at nearby property 105b Breakspears Rd, replacement planting considered by MWA arboricultural report 23/11/22. REAR: ONE Goat Willow (T5)(approx.ht.10m) CROWN REDUCE by approx.4m to ht.5-6m to previous prune points. Reason: structural issues at nearby property, recommendation to prune on triennial cycle to maintain at broadly reduced dimensions. Informative A: the MWA arboricultural report 23/11/2022 indicates structural damage at no.105 is category 2 (slight), to the rear projection, the contribution from (T4) to the damage is uncertain as it is one of the smaller species within the genus, located at its limit to affect the property and there is no certainty roots have reached the dwelling. Informative B: Replacement planting in arboricultural report conclusions, p.4, is greatly welcomed to maintain the treed character of gardens in the Brockley conservation area, maintain the urban forest canopy, for wildlife and environmental benefits. Informative C: replacement trees suggested from NHBC low water demand species: mulberry, birch, laburnum, hazel, holly, honey locust, fig, elder, magnolia, hornbeam, tulip 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.
