SECOND FLOOR FLAT, 25 PEPYS ROAD, LONDON, SE14 5SA
FRONT: ONE Mimosa (T3)(approx.ht.6m) FELL. Reason: one of a few trees causing subsidence issues with nearby property, investigation identified mimosa root material in soil samples, cyclical pruning not regarded as reliable long-term mitigation, removal represents the most effective way to reduce future subsidence risk in line with insurer expectations, landscaping proposed to replace frontage vegetation to ensure it remains in keeping with the character of Pepys Road. Informative A: the proposed replacement front garden planting is hugely welcomed for urban greening amenity, wildlife and environmental benefits. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

41 PEPYS ROAD, LONDON, SE14 5SA
REAR: ONE Sycamore (T1) CROWN REDUCTION by 5m from 12m to 7m REAR: ONE Fig (T2) CROWN REDUCTION by 2m from 5m to 3m Informative: It is recommended that a lesser crown reduction by selective branch reduction to appropriate prune points is undertaken to ensure a strong framework of healthy small diameter branches and twigs (leaf bearing structure) is retained to maintain vitality. A 5m crown reduction may be excessive and adversely affect the tree's aesthetic value and future structural integrity by excessive regrowth, or development of disease, decay or dieback from large pruning wounds. Ref: BS 3998:2010 Tree works ? recommendations, Clause 7.7 Crown reduction and reshaping.

9 EXETER PLACE, LONDON, SE26 6AB
REAR (fronting Wells Park Rd) ONE Sycamore (T2, in TPO A1)(ht.12-14m) FELL by dismantling to safe standing stem or high stump. Reason: health & safety, the tree is in severe physiological and structural decline, leaning towards the road, several branches have already failed, and although a small amount of live growth remains, the tree has no meaningful long-term viability, the significantly compromised structure presents an unacceptable risk of further branch or whole-tree failure onto highway. The proposed removal is necessary to eliminate the risk. The replacement tree is to be a large canopy species planted as near as practicable to the original location. The County of London (Lewisham No.2) Tree Preservation Order, 1957. Informative A: thank you for proposing 4x replacement trees, 1x is required to be a large canopy tree to replace the TPO tree and to maintain the treed boundary character to Wells Park Road for public streetscape amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change ? Hornbeam, Hop hornbeam, sessile oak, Japanese Pagoda Tree, walnut (Juglans regia), Italian alder or grey alder, Caucasian Elm (Zelkova carpinifolia), small leaved lime, Hackberry (Celtis australis), Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna), Kentucky Coffee Tree (Gymnocladus dioica) - see further planting details below. Informative B: thank you for planting additional voluntary trees for screening, to improve species diversity, and the setting of the property. Informative C: thank you also for looking to retain a safe standing stem/high stump and creating habitat log piles with some dead wood arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

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.
