    DC/24/135132 Submitted 4 Mar 2024 32m away

    FRONT: ONE Ash (T1)(ht:9m): FELL. FRONT: FIVE Laurel (T2-T5)(ht:5-7m): FELL Reason: repeat of previously granted notice DC/22/125816, trees are in front of currently redundant substation which needs to be utilised for network reinforcement works, with underground cables due to be installed, the easement area must be kept clear of vegetation under the terms of the lease, the trees are not able to be replaced. Informative A: the loss of vegetation is unfortunate as it reduces air pollution from the busy south circular road. It would be greatly appreciated if replacement shrubs or hedging could be planted on land adjacent to the easement or on the other side of the access drive for amenity, urban greening, wildlife and environmental benefits, species such as Cotoneaster franchetii which traps 20% more emissions than other hedges tested by the RHS.

    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.
