  FRONT: ONE Horse Chestnut (T8 in TPO)(ht.22m, multi-stemmed from 3-4m) HEIGHT REDUCTION by 4m from 22m to 18m, LATERAL REDUCTION by 2-4m from 10-11m to 7-9m on E compass point (roadside) and LATERAL REDUCTION by 2m from 10-11m to 8-9m on W compass point house side, CROWN LIFT to 6m over the road & 4m over driveway. Remove deadwood (exempt works). Reason: routine maintenance of mature tree beside highway, to mitigate suspected basal fungal decay by bracket fungus Ulmarius rigidoporus by reducing canopy, provide clearance to highway and drive, balance asymmetrical crown while retaining visual amenity.

  FRONT: ONE Norway Maple (T1)(T25 in TPO)(ht.13m, r.7m) FELL and replace with suitable specimen to mitigate the loss of the maple and maintain visual amenity. Reason: concern regarding proximity to highway, slight trunk lean on N compass point (towards road), historic bark loss and stem crack on W compass point, exposed roots with surface damage in grass surrounds, vehicle wound to underside of lowest branch on N compass point, resulting in the tree having reduced public amenity value.

  FRONT: TWO LIME (T1 &T2)(T2 in TPO) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by approx.3m from approx.ht.17m to approx.14m and REDUCE RADIUS by approx.2-3m from approx.4-5m to 2-3m to previous prune points. CROWN THIN by 20-25%. Remove deadwood (exempt works). Reason: repeat maintenance, beside highway. The London Borough of Lewisham (Page Heath Estate No.1) Tree Preservation Order 1976 Informative: if possible the tree works to be carried out after leaf fall to enable invertebrates to complete their life cycles, such as the Lime Hawkmoth whose caterpillars move to the ground in autumn in search of a place to hibernate as a chrysalis just below the soil surface.

  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.

  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.
