  FRONT: ONE Copper Beech (T1)(ht.15m) FELL. Reason: existing 6-wk notice DC/25/139150 to fell front beech is still current; the tree has been managed poorly in the past, is situated close to buildings, high crown has not reacted well, has dieback and has delaminated bark on the main stem. REAR: ONE Horse Chestnut (T2)(ht.13m) FELL or CROWN REDUCE by approx.5m to approx.safe ht.8m as discussed with agent in email exchange 20 February 2026. Reason: the tree is an historic low pollard, regrown and subsequently pollarded at a higher point and regrown with most limbs over-extended and bowing. REPLANTING PROPOSAL: A replacement tree will be provided for T1 after the tree has been removed, the same species will be chosen but will be in a slightly different location due the stump not being grounded out. Informative A: huge thank you for the replacement tree planting for front beech (T1). A large canopy species is encouraged planted as a nursery whip in the same position between the roots or in the front garden to maintain urban forest amenity, wildlife and environmental benefits and shade to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to the climate change. Informative B: Large canopy species suggestions such as: small leaved lime, sessile oak, sycamore, Robinia, Norway maple, wild cherry, beech, field maple, whitebeam, wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis), Bird cherry, Tulip Tree, Ginkgo, hornbeam, hop hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia), Indian horse chestnut, Caucasian wingnut (Pterocarya fraxinifolia), Pride of India/Golden Rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata), Japanese pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum), Italian alder, Hackberry (Celtis australis), Kentucky Coffee Tree (Gymnocladus dioica), Liquidambar, Bee-bee Tree (Tetradium daniellii), Turkish hazel, Turkey oak, Holm oak, Caucasian elm (Zelkova carpinifolia) Informative C: as discussed with agent in email 20 Feb 2026, retention of rear Horse Chestnut (T2) is encouraged with crown reduction to safe height by approx.5m to ht.8m to most recent previous pollard points, to retain green infrastructure, rear amenity, screening and environmental benefits including reducing air pollution from the nearby busy roads including the congested south circular. Informative D: please retain the timber on site and create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative E: previous 6-week notice in 2024, ref DC/24/135169, to fell a rear cherry due to extensive decay throughout the main stem. A proposed replacement tree was volunteered, and if not yet planted, the replacement tree is encouraged to maintain the treed character of the site, please select from: crab apple, hawthorn, Amelanchier, pear, quince, mulberry, Laburnum, cherry plum, Tibetan cherry, paperbark maple.

  REAR: ONE Weeping Ash (T0433)(ht.6m) FELL. Reason: historically pollarded, slight canopy, upper stem abscission, decay cavity, proximity to building, health and safety. Informative A: retaining a safe standing stem or high stump is encouraged for wildlife and biodiversity especially habitat for the endangered stag beetle which has a stronghold in SE London. Informative B: huge thank you for retaining the adjacent mature ash tree and other rear trees for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to climate change. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative D: a replacement large canopy tree is encouraged planted towards the end of rear garden in a wildlife area, to benefit amenity, wellbeing, biodiversity, mitigate flood risk.

  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.
