Withdrawn Trees -
88 TYRWHITT ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1QB
FRONT: GROUP 2x Leylandii, hedge (G1)(ht 6m) FELL. Reason: is damaging the wall and will be replaced with a hedge. FRONT: ONE Eucalyptus (T1)(ht.7m) FELL. Reason: the tree is unhealthy and is to be replaced with something more suitable. REAR: ONE Western Red Cedar (T1)(ht.9m) FELL. Reason: the tree is growing too close to the fence, growing out of a raised bed/wall, previously reduced, and to be replaced. Informative A: replacement tree planting is encouraged: Front G1 ? with a mixed native species hedge such as hawthorn, hazel, holly, field maple, alder buckthorn; Front Eucalyptus (T1) ? with such as crab apple, hawthorn, hazel, holly, magnolia, Amelanchier, winter flowering cherry (Prunus autumnalis), Quince (Cydonia oblonga), Orange-barked Myrtle (Myrtus apiculate); Rear Western Red Cedar (T1) ? with such as whitebeam, Magnolia denudate, common pear, mulberry, bird cherry, medlar, yew, paperbark maple (Acer griseum), Tibetan cherry.

102 TYRWHITT ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1QB
FRONT: ONE Eucalyptus (T1)(ht.14.4m) FELL. FRONT SIDE: ONE Privet hedge 4m section (H1)(ht.4.2m) FELL. Reason: for 4m clearance from front left corner of the property FRONT: ONE Wisteria (C1)(ht.2.8m) FELL (exempt works). Reason: The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability. Informative A: huge thanks that the front hedge is being retained for urban greening benefits and for wildlife, to reduce increasingly high prolonged temperatures due to climate change, and for flood mitigation but disappointed that hydrangea (SG1) removal not being considered first, before felling the Eucalyptus or that underpinning the bay is not being considered as the long-term solution to the structural issue which is confined to the right-hand side of the front two storey bay windows with no cracks at ground level; site investigation does not appear conclusive on cause of damage, with level monitoring showing most movement at left-hand side of the bay, foundations of the bay depth 700mm are below current guidelines for clay soils, hydrangea roots to 1.8m, soil not desiccated, water ingress/penetration into cellar not addressed, historic distortions and previous episode in 2009. Informative B: replacement tree planting is encouraged to restore streetscape amenity, which could be from the NHBC low water demand tree list which includes birch, elder, hazel, laburnum, magnolia, mulberry, fig and holly - the Arboricultural report considers replacement planting appropriate (p.2). Informatives C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

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.
