Proposal
FRONT: ONE Oak (T1)(ht.15-16m) REDUCE RADIUS by 3m from 10m to 7m on NE compass point over grass, CROWN THIN by 20%. Reason: reduce laterals towards overhead wires, pruning to suitable points to shape canopy and maintain natural aesthetic, improve light conditions. FRONT: FOUR Leylandii (G1)(ht.12m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 3m from 12m to 9m. Reason: reduce and shape canopy back to form, pruning to suitable points and maintain natural aesthetic, to reduce future growth into canopy of oak (T1), improve light conditions. FRONT: ONE Spruce (T2)(ht.5m) FELL. Reason: a fast growing conifer that will cause issues for other trees & shrubs growing close together in the linear group, to improve light and soil water conditions, and benefit growth of better specimens in the linear group. A native species will be planted as a replacement. FRONT: ONE Maple (T3)(ht.6m) FELL. Reason: a poor specimen, removal will improve light and water conditions, and benefit better specimens in the linear group. A native species will be planted as a replacement. FRONT: ONE Oak (T4)(ht.6m) FELL. Reason: a poor specimen, removal will improve light and water conditions on owner and neighbours property. This tree is part of a group of trees that are growing close together so removal will benefit better specimens to flourish. A native species will be planted as a replacement. FRONT: ONE Yew (T5)(ht.8m) FELL. Reason: remove as part of a larger landscaping project to improve the area, and new planting will replace green cover. FRONT: ONE Yew (T6)(ht.8m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 2m from 8m to 6m, REDUCE RADIUS by 2m from 8m to 6m. Reason: to shape canopy back to form, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic, improve light conditions. FRONT: FOUR Prunus (T7, T8,T9 & T10) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 1m from 4m to 3m, REDUCE RADIUS by 1m from 4m to 3m. Reason: to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintain natural aesthetic, part of regular pruning maintenance cycle to encourage fruit production. Informative: the proposed planting of replacement native trees for T2, T3, T4 and planting to replace T5 is hugely appreciated for tree canopy, boundary screening, internal screening within the site and urban greening environmental benefits; suggested species includes such as crab apple, Wild service tree, Prunus subhirtella Autumnalis, mulberry, Quince (Cydonia oblonga Meeches Prolific), Laburnum, Tall Stewartia, Ceanothus arboreus, hazel, holly, hawthorn, birch, magnolia, Cornus Kousa, Strawberry tree, Tibetan cherry, Paperbark maple, and mixed shrubs for boundary understorey and screening such as Cotoneaster, Forsythia, Elaeagnus, Weigela, Spirea arguta, spindle, Philadelphus, Pineapple broom (Cytisus battandieri), Osmanthus

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

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.
