  FRONT: ONE Horse Chestnut (T1)(ht.18) LATERAL REDUCE SPREAD by 1-2m from 10m to 8m on the South/East compass point for 2m clearance from building, remove major deadwood and stem epicormics. Reason: General maintenance works. FRONT: ONE Lime (T2)(ht.8m) FELL. Reason: pollarded a number of times to a single stem with no branch framework, reduced amenity value. To be replace with something more appropriate.

Informative B: the proposal to plant a replacement tree is greatly welcomed to continue the hugely appreciated replacement tree planting already carried out, to maintain the treed setting of Drewery Court and the treed landscape of The Glebe into the future for amenity, wildlife, biodiversity and to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to climate change - suggested trees are such as small leaved lime, oak, Robinia, wild cherry, field maple, whitebeam, wild service tree, walnut, Indian Horse Chestnut, Judas tree, wingnut, Koelreuteria paniculata, Japanese Pagoda Tree, Italian alder. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative D: additional tree planting is encouraged where space allows for ecosystem service benefits.

Informative: the retention of T3 and T9 and voluntary planting of 2-3 trees on the side (E) boundary lawn with 8 The Glebe and 2-3 trees on the front lawns, is noted with thanks and greatly welcomed to develop a more mixed aged and resilient treed landscape setting to Drewery Court. Suitable species would be native and naturalised broadleaves eg. Robinia, walnut, Liquidambar, beech, horse chestnut, Zelkova, lime, sycamore, field maple, tulip tree, oak, Koelreuteria, Pterocarya, alder.

  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.
