Planning application

33 LOWTHER HILL, LONDON, SE23 1PZ

Withdrawn Lewisham DC/25/142454 Works to Trees

Works: Trees

Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.

Proposal

FRONT/REAR: ONE Ash tree & THREE Cherry trees (G1) Ht approx 15m (Ash) approx 5m (Cherry) FELL to ground level. REASON: Ash is a poor specimen with an included fork at the base. It has been periodically pollarded due to this but felling and replacement is the best long term option. All three (Cherry trees) are poor specimens with die back in the crown symptomatic of declining physiological condition. REPLANTING PROPOSAL: Four native drought resistant trees will be planted as part of an overall scheme to improve the diversity and resilience of tree stock in the park. ONE Cherry tree (T1) Ht ??m FELL to ground level. REASON: The tree has died. REPLANTING PROPOSAL: Another Cherry will be planted as a replacement. ONE Horse chestnut tree (T2) - HEIGHT REDUCTION by 3m from 14m to 11m. Reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic. The leader is showing dieback & bark is peeling from the stem. The tree will tolerate the pruning as specified above. ONE Lime tree (T3) Ht approx 15m FELL to ground level. REASON: The ash is approximately 15m in height. It is a poor specimen with a large cavity at the crown break. A heavy reduction would be required as a minimum but replacement is the better long term option. REPLANTING PROPOSAL: A native drought resistant tree will be planted as part of an overall scheme to improve the diversity and resilience of tree stock in the park. ONE Lime tree (T4) - CROWN REDUCTION Ht by1m from 7m to 6m Spread by 2m from 7m to 5m. Reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic. The tree will tolerate the pruning as specified above.

    249A KIRKDALE, LONDON, SE26 4QD

    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

  • DC/26/144936 Granted

    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.
