Planning application
UPPER FLAT, 88 INCHMERY ROAD, LONDON, SE6 2ND
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
REAR: TWO Sycamore (T1, T2) FELL. Reason: fell to remove excessive shade over garden and use space for wild flower garden. Voluntary replacement proposed with Wisteria or Cherry tree. Alternative specification for the sycamores if required: REAR: TWO Sycamore (T1, T2)(close grown approx.ht.12m) REDUCE HEIGHT by approx.3m to approx.ht.9m, REDUCE RADIUS by approx.1m from approx.3m to approx.2m on all compass points, CROWN LIFT to approx.4m above ground level. Informative: trees in rear gardens, hidden from public view, contribute to the urban forest and provide benefits for climate change mitigation, reduction in air pollution, wildlife habitat and connectivity, privacy, screening and rear outlook amenity. More intensive use of rear gardens can bring conflict with the borough's larger canopy trees. It is greatly appreciated when trees can be accommodated and retained.

249A KIRKDALE, LONDON, SE26 4QD
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.
