Planning application
1 CHALSEY ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1YN
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
REAR: ONE Sycamore (T1) (ht:12.5m) FELL and replace. Reason: to remove the influence of the tree on the underlying clay to the rear additions of 1 & 3 Chalsey Rd, in mitigation of structural issues of differential foundation movement. Informative A: the voluntary replacement tree planting on a 1:1 basis (p.3 PRI letter 03/01/2023) is hugely welcomed to maintain urban greening and urban forest canopy - suggest tree selection from NHBC low water demand species such as mulberry, laburnum, holly, fig, elder, magnolia. Informative B: please create habitat log piles from cut timber and/or lay cut branches between stakes on site as linear 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity.

249A KIRKDALE, LONDON, SE26 4QD
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.
