• DC/26/143239 Granted

  154A ALBYN ROAD, LONDON, SE8 4JQ

  REAR: ONE Eucalyptus tree (T1) Ht 12.5m Spread 8m FELL. REASON: The tree is in an inappropriate location overhanging the railway. CA permission was granted 2 years ago for a reduction, ref DC/24/134788, which was applied for when a previous resident lived at the property. This work was not carried out. We and the current resident think it prudent to remove this tree, taking into account the fact that the railway will have to be closed every time it needs to be worked on, at great expense to the resident. It will also pose a hazard to the railway lines if allowed to continue growing. Informative A: repeat low pollard management to ht.3m to retain some urban greening or to plant a replacement tree for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change is encouraged. Informative B: replacement tree encouraged, species such as hawthorn, common pear, crab apple, elder, Alder buckthorn, whitebeam, hazel, field maple, holly. Informative C: please create habitat log piles and a 'dead hedge' with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

  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.
