  REAR (nature trail): ONE Lime (T1)(approx ht.12m) LATERAL REDUCE SPREAD by 2m from 11m to 9m on E compass point, no height reduction. Reason: to give 2m clearance from the lamp column, pruning to suitable points to maintain natural aesthetic. REAR (nature trail): ONE Sycamore (T237)(approx.ht.12m) LATERAL REDUCE by removing dead stem. Reason: the stem has died, remove for health & safety reasons, the tree will remain. REAR (nature trail): ONE Sycamore (T264)(approx.ht.14m) LATERAL REDUCE by removing south stem which has died. Reason: the stem has died, remove for health & safety reasons, the tree will remain. REAR (nature trail): ONE Prunus (T3)(approx.ht.8m) FELL. Reason: strong eastward lean over the footpath that runs through the nature trail, poor physiological condition noted previously, lean appears to be worsening, replant with another prunus - see informative A below for alternative species. REAR (nature trail): Sycamore (T2) remove deadwood and stub ? exempt works. Informative A: the proposed replacement for Prunus T3 is greatly appreciated to maintain the woodland habitat for wildlife and visitors wellbeing, suggested alternative species to Prunus: alder buckthorn, grey or goat willow, hazel, purging buckthorn, elder. Informative B: to thank for retaining the treed character of the disused rail line for amenity, wildlife habitat and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative C: please continue creating habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

  REAR (near mini golf): ONE London Plane (T174)(ht:approx.20m) FELL and replace. Reason: basal fungal brackets, declining physiological condition (loss of fine twigs, large areas of bark loss on upper branches seen from disabled parking area), resistograph results show very low resistance in the low stem holding wood hugely increasing the likelihood of failure; given the size of the tree, the proximity to the mini golf course, on higher ground than adjacent disabled parking area, the combination of the compromised strength and high footfall mean the tree must be removed to prevent health & safety issues in the future; a native species tree is proposed to be planted as a replacement. Informative A: the proposed replacement tree planting is hugely appreciated to maintain the treed setting and amenity of the Horniman Gardens. In view of the specimen trees and arboretum character of the gardens, a large canopy replacement tree is suggested with species such as: hornbeam, oak, wild service tree, London plane, cut leaved beech, Indian horse chestnut, wingnut, Japanese pagoda tree, golden rain tree. Informative B: where possible please continue to retain safe standing dead timber or create habitat wood piles on site and lay cut branches between stakes as a linear 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity.

  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.
