Proposal
FRONT: ONE False Acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia) (T1)(ht.9m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 3m to ht.6m, REDUCE RADIUS by approx.2m from 4m to approx.2m. REASON: ongoing maintenance, to reduce the size for its location close to the property & reduce its water demands and risk of subsidence which is fairly high as the property is on a hill on London clay. Informative A: to thank for retaining the tree for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: the council apologises for the delay in issuing the decision notice due to an administrative issue.

22 BLACKHEATH RISE, LONDON, SE13 7PN
REAR: ONE Oak (T1)(ht.12m) FELL and replace. Reason: located on top of a retaining wall 5m from rear of house, retaining wall is cracked to north and south of the tree, likely as a result of pressure from the oak trees expanding root system and incremental growth of the trunk, the tree will continue to grow, retaining wall will require remedial repair work, frequent crown reduction is required to maintain clearance from roof to prevent squirrel access to roof space and causing damage. Re-planting is proposed with a tree species more suited to the location, e.g. field maple (Acer campestre), Wild Service Tree Sorbus torminalis, or Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna). Informative A: the voluntary replacement tree planting with either a field maple (Acer campestre), or Wild Service Tree (Sorbus torminalis) or other native larger canopy tree within the garden is greatly appreciated to maintain the treed character of gardens in the Blackheath conservation area, for amenity, wildlife, and to maintain the urban forest canopy as required by The London Plan 2021 for 10% uplift of London's tree canopy by 2050. Informative B: where possible source a use for the oak trunk timber locally for furniture making or other wood crafts, and within the rear garden create habitat log piles, bury logs vertically in the ground 'Giants Causeway style' for stag beetle habitat, and lay cut branches between stakes as linear 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity.

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.
