Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Clarification of tree works specification from agent 16/12/2019: FRONT: ONE Ash (T1) REDUCE HEIGHT by approx.5m, from approx.14-16m to approx.9-11m, to near previous reduction points, REDUCE RADIUS by approx.4m from 8m to approx.4m on NE compass point over road, REDUCE dead twin stems on N compass point to safe standing height (approx.ht.5m as appropriate)(exempt works). Remove ivy from main stems (exempt works). Reason: health and safety, repeat crown reduction of multi-stemmed tree on raised ground adjacent to highway, over-extended branch overhanging road, making safe dead stems for biodiversity. NB tree work specification from DC/18/109672 dated 12/12/2018: FRONT: ONE Ash (T1) REDUCE HEIGHT by approx.5m, from approx 14-16m to approx.9-11m, to near previous reduction points, REDUCE RADIUS by approx.4m from 8m to approx 4m on NE compass point overhanging road (to retain twin stemmed, part dead)

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.
