  REAR: ONE Silver Birch (T1)(ht.6.5m) FELL. Reason: tree is leaning, decayed above the first union in an unsustainable position in a narrow raised planting bed and is cracking the supporting retaining wall. REAR: Conifer Group (G1)(approx.ht.4-5m) REDUCE HEIGHT and RADIUS. Reason: previously unmanaged, trimming to form hedge group, retaining specimen tree with lateral branch reduction. Informative: Ownership (G1) ? it is understood the conifer group is within the ownership of the adjoining rear garden of 39 Caterham Road. The details and extent of the proposed tree works need to be agreed with, and the necessary permission obtained from, the tree owner prior to any works on G1 being carried out. See informative 4 below. Informative: Cypress - select reduction points to trim with care to avoid cutting into and exposing older brown stems which remain unsightly as they do not regrow green foliage.

  REAR (fronting Lockmead Rd): ONE Sycamore (T1)(ht.11-12m, spread 5m) FELL and replace. Reason: deteriorating condition with basal decay, decay in branches which have fallen during storms, stem bark loss exposing inner wood and peeling bark, tree on raised ground above the public pavement, a parking space and adjacent small gardens, health and safety and light issues, to replace with an extra heavy standard birch and row of espalier fruit trees. Informative A: the replacement planting with an extra heavy nursery standard birch (Betula pendula), girth 14/16cm, fitted with irrigation bag to aid watering regime for successful establishment, a row of espalier trees, and timber retained as habitat log piles, as emails from applicant 12 January 2023 and agent 20 & 24 January 2023 for landscape amenity, urban forest canopy, wellbeing, wildlife and environmental benefits is greatly appreciated.

  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.
