  Please accept this email as my 5-day Notice, Limited Exceptions (Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) (England) Regulations 2012, Part 4 - Applications for Consent under Tree Preservation Orders) for the removal of a group of Sycamore trees that have been the subject of a fire damage along with a dead Cherry tree within the curtilage of the Pink Willows Equestrian Centre, Ronver Road, Lewisham. The trees were the subject of your investigation and approval yesterday (7th February 2024) and therefore agreed. I will mark the trees for removal with a red paint mark and also be on site when the trees are removed. In accordance with the above Regulations, the client has kindly agreed to replant with 3 trees for every one tree removed which is a very generous offer. As discussed yesterday, your aspiration is to provide or retain a negative screen between the site and the boundary and therefore these trees will be planted along the boundary (as discussed and agreed yesterday). I have attached a number of photographs more as a record than a reminder as you visit regularly. As a further indication of the owners willingness to be compliant and to provide confidence that the wildlife issues are being sensitvely managed, the deadwood timber will be stacked as habitat piles around the site to provide additional habitat to support the biodiversity present. I am unsure if you are aware, but as my duty of care, I called in on the resident of No 77 Ronver Road to offer some reassurance that both Lewisham Council and the owner of the Pink Willows Equestrian Centre take people's lives seriously and so collaboratively the trees will be removed in good time, BT will be notified of their damaged pole, the burnt fencing will be addressed and hopefully, now with a temporary presence on site, he should no longer need to live in fear of danger to life and property. I look forward to your timely response in order that the tree removal can be arranged.

  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.

  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.
