Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
FRONT: ONE Twin Forked Silver Birch (6 Lee Terrace) (T1)(ht:9m): REMOVE larger limb/fork of the trunk; Reason: Limb is growing over the driveway of 4 Lee Terrace, remove branches growing over and towards 4 Lee Terrace from remaining limb/fork of the trunk. FRONT: ONE Laurel (2 Lee Terrace) (T2)(ht:8m): REDUCE HEIGHT by 2m from 8m to 6m; Reason: To reduce in height to the bottom of the first floor window. REAR: ONE Apple (T3)(ht:5m): CROWN THIN by 30%; Reason: To remove any deadwood, crossing and rubbing branches. REAR: ONE Shrub (T4)(ht:3m): CROWN LIFT to 1m above ground level; Reason: To reshape the top growth. REAR: ONE Elderberry (T5)(ht:3m): REMOVE long extended limb growing into the shrub; Reason: To reshape the remaining shrub. REAR: ONE Evergreen Shrub (T6):(ht:3m): TRIM back from neighbouring wall; Reason: To reduce new growtn plus an extra 6 inches to reshape and tidy. REAR: ONE Cherry (T7)(ht:5m, rs:3m): CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 2m from 5m to 3m, REDUCE RADIUS by 1m from 3m to 2m; Reason: Reduce by 50% the branch growing towards the garden, the branch growing towards the compost area, and the two branches growing on the right hand side, no thinning, retain the screen effect. REAR: ONE Hedge (H1)(ht:3m): TRIM back the ivy growing over the wall; Reason: To reshape the four shrubs along the back boundary. REAR: ONE Sycamore (T8)(ht:25m, rs:13m): CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 8m from 25m to 18m, REDUCE RADIUS by 2-3m from 13m to 10m; Reason: To remove any deadwood, crossing, rubbing and any epicormic growth. Informative A: Works to T1 should be to appropriate prune point, not all the way back to main stem, to avoid decay. Informative B: The sensitive management of the trees is greatly appreciated for landscape amenity, wildlife, wellbeing, and urban forest canopy for environmental benefits to mitigate the effects of climate change. Informative C: Wherever possible, please create habitat log piles in the garden from cut branches for wildlife and biodiversity.

43 DEVONSHIRE ROAD, LONDON, SE23 3EN
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

REASON: Proposed as a remedy to the differential foundation movement at the insured property and to ensure the long-term stability of the building.

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.
