Proposal
REAR: THREE: Leylandii (T1, T2, T3)(ht.7m) FELL. Reason: removal to reduce lack of light and benefit growth of surrounding trees and shrubs, 6 leyandii will remain untouched. Informative A: replacement planting is encouraged with a mixed species hedge such as hawthorn, hazel, holly, spindle, for amenity, privacy screening, 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 location and height of the remaining 6 leylandii mentioned in the 6-wk notice is unknown - regular trimming of leylandii green foliage is encouraged to maintain appropriate size and to avoid excessive nuisance growth.

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.
