Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

REAR: ONE Hornbeam (T1)(ht.18m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 3m from 18m to 15m, LATERAL REDUCTION by 3m from 18m to 15m. Reason: Alleviate light, routine maintenance. Work Statement: Hornbeam (T1) - crown reduce Reduce height by 3m from 18m to 15m and lateral spread by 3m from 18m to 15m. Reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic. Work undertaken to bring back to form to improve light conditions for the owner & neighbouring property. The work will also reduce the likelihood of weight loaded failure, required as the tree overhangs a busy area. 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

    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.
