Planning application

GOLDSMITHS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, RAYMONT HALL, 57-63 WICKHAM ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1LX

Granted Lewisham DC/26/143523 Trees in Conservation Areas

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

REAR: ONE Copper beech (T1)(ht.10-12m) FELL. Reason: to let more light into the property, structural issues with adjacent building. Informative A: before carrying out the proposed tree removal, the drain repairs are encouraged, and details of foundation depth, soil analysis, root identification, and the nature of the building structural issue obtained, to ascertain if the beech tree is causing the building structural issue, to avoid unnecessary felling, loss of amenity, wildlife and environmental benefits. Lateral reduction of branches would improve the light issue. Informative B: should it be proved the beech is causing subsidence and no alternative mitigation available, replacement tree planting is encouraged elsewhere in the grounds for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

    FRONT: ONE Hawthorn (T1)(ht.5m) FELL. Reason: poor specimen of tree with cavities - located within 1 m from structural foundation. A native drought resistant tree will be planted as a replacement. Informative A: the proposed replacement tree planting is hugely appreciated ? suggest with such as hazel, holly, elder, magnolia, laburnum from the NHBC 4.2.4 low water demand species list. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: thank you also for retaining treed, vegetated gardens for amenity, wildlife, flood mitigation, reduction in air pollution and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change.

    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.

    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.
