Planning application
61A TYRWHITT ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1QE
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
REAR: ONE Cherry tree (T1)(ht. 10m) FELL. Reason: The crown of the tree is comprised of three leading stems, one of which failed to leaf, resulting in approximately 30% of the crown being dead. Removal of the deadwood alone would create poor crown symmetry and would create a large wound at the point of bifurcation, potentially comprising the remaining two leaders by leaving them open to infection. Basal epicormic growth is forming, indicating stress conditions. Replanting proposal: We would like to plant a hawthorn in the same spot. Informative A the replacement with a hawthorn to maintain rear amenity, urban greening, wildlife and environmental benefits is greatly appreciated. Informative B: please create habitat log piles and a 'dead hedge' with 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.
