T1 - Cedar - CROWN REDUCTION 12m in height. Reduce height by 3m from 12m to 9m. Reduce laterals by 2m from 8m to 6m on all compass points. A mature Cedar in the front garden of 72 Wickham Rd. The tree has been previously reduced. Works will retain the established reduction points to maintain the existing crown shape and form, keeping the tree in proportion to its position and reducing weight on regrowth from previous cuts. T2 - Eucalyptus - crown reduce 14m in height. Reduce height by 3m from 14m to 11m. Reduce laterals by 2m from 8m to 6m on all compass points. A mature Eucalyptus in the front garden. The tree has been previously reduced and is managed on a cyclical pruning programme. Works will retain the established reduction points, maintaining the existing crown shape and form and reducing weight on regrowth from previous cuts. T3 - Birch - crown lift 10m in height. No reduction to height. Crown lift to 3m above ground level over the pavement. A Birch on the front boundary of the property. The crown currently extends low over the pavement and road, restricting clearance for pedestrians and vehicles below. Crown lifting to 3m above ground level will restore clearance over the footway while maintaining the natural shape and form of the crown.

REAR (of no.82): ONE Sycamore, multi-stemmed (T1)(10-12m) FELL. Reason: proximity to rear garden boundary wall of no.84, with 6m length of original brick wall collapsed. Temporary fence erected prior to rebuilding the wall. Propose to replant with 2-3 fruit trees in rear garden of no.84. Informative: investigation into the use of a bridging lintel over roots in the wall rebuild and selective stem removal to retain the sycamore if possible is greatly appreciated; as is the proposal to plant replacement trees for urban greening environmental benefits, if the sycamore needs to be felled, with possible vertical log piles Giants-Causeway-style for stag beetle habitat. Replacement tree species such as whitebeam, field maple, wild service tree, mulberry, pear, Prunus Tai-Haku, the handkerchief tree, the Judas tree, crab apple, quince (Cydonia oblonga Meeches Prolific), paperbark maple, cherry plum.

The cut off parts of the tree remain the owner's property and should be offered back.

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.
