  REAR: ONE Ash (T2)(ht.9m) FELL. Reason: tree has basal decay, vertical split in the trunk, previous pollard, health and safety risk, substantial size disproportionate to the relatively small garden causing light deprivation, the tree interferes with the boundary making replacement of garden fencing impractical. Replacement tree to be planted - either UK grown birch or hawthorn. Informative A: the proposed replacement tree planting in the garden redesign with birch or hawthorn is hugely appreciated for rear amenity, wildlife habitat and to replace lost urban forest canopy to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Other suitable replacement species include: whitebeam, field maple, Amelanchier, hazel, Gleditsia, common pear, alder buckthorn, quince (Cydonia oblonga). Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity, provide hedgehog highway holes in any new fencing.

  REAR: TWO Sycamore (TG1)(ht.14m, spread 9.5m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 4m to ht.10m, REDUCE RADIUS by 3m from 9.5m to 6.5m, CROWN THIN by 30%, CROWN LIFT to 5m above ground level. Reason: to manage within their setting, one tree has an included union at 2m height, the trees are growing together in proximity to sheds and fences. Informative A: the sensitive management of the trees for rear landscape amenity, urban forest canopy/urban greening, wellbeing, wildlife, environmental benefits and to mitigate the climate and biodiversity emergencies is greatly appreciated. Informative B: where possible please use cut branches in the garden to create habitat wood piles, and/ or a linear 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: please continue to plant trees, shrubs, hedges, climbers, perennials, bulbs and groundcover for varied garden landscape amenity, urban forest canopy, wildlife habitat, plants for pollinators, improve air quality.

  FRONT: ONE Lime tree (T1) Ht 15m FELL to ground level & treat stump REASON: A remedy to the differential foundation movement at the insured property and to ensure the long-term stability of the building. To limit the extent and need for expensive and disruptive engineering repair works at the insured property. To limit the extent and need for costly CO2e emissions relating to alternative engineering repair works at the insured property. It is the case that an alternative to felling such as pruning or significant 'pollarding' of the tree would not provide a reliable or sustainable remedy to the subsidence in this case. We do not consider that any other potential means of mitigation, including root barriers, would be effective or appropriate in the circumstances. We are satisfied that the evidence obtained following completion of our Arboricultural Implication Assessment report completed 31/01/2024 clearly links the Lime T1 and False Acacia T2 as the cause of damage to the risk address. REPLANTING: Insurers understanding the requirement to offer replacement planting in the event consent to fell is granted. 43 DEVONSHIRE ROAD TREE PRESERVATION ORDER 2024 DC/24/135159

  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.

  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.
