GOLDSMITHS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, RAYMONT HALL, 57-63 WICKHAM ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1LX
REAR: ONE Copper beech (T1)(ht.10-12m) FELL. Reason: to let more light into the property, structural issues with adjacent building. Informative A: before carrying out the proposed tree removal, the drain repairs are encouraged, and details of foundation depth, soil analysis, root identification, and the nature of the building structural issue obtained, to ascertain if the beech tree is causing the building structural issue, to avoid unnecessary felling, loss of amenity, wildlife and environmental benefits. Lateral reduction of branches would improve the light issue. Informative B: should it be proved the beech is causing subsidence and no alternative mitigation available, replacement tree planting is encouraged elsewhere in the grounds for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings 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.
