    DC/19/113106 Submitted 16 Jul 2019 51m away

    Revised tree work specification agreed 23/09/2019: REAR: THREE Lime (T1-T3)(part G1 in TPO) FELL. Reason: lapsed pollards, extremely close proximity to the property with branches against the side elevation and roof, overhanging the roof causing damp and excessive shade. REPLACE with ONE Tulip tree, Liriodendron tulipifera. Location to be agreed on owner's land, possibly within frontage green strip on E side of access drive subject to ownership, or a financial contribution to street tree planting nearby to benefit public amenity and the urban tree canopy. REAR: FOUR Lime (T4 -T7)(part G1 in TPO) REPEAT CROWN REDUCTION to previous prune points, REDUCE HEIGHT by approx.3m from approx.13m to approx.10m (T4 from approx.9m to approx.6m). LATERAL BRANCH REDUCTION by approx.3m from approx.7m to 4m retaining radius of approx.2m. Reason: repeat cyclical crown reduction of lapsed pollards to alleviate shade, to mitigate risk of failure of weak branch forks on regrowth from previous prune points,T4 retained instead of fell with regard for visual amenity of rear outlook for nearby residents. Informative: voluntary establishment of boundary shrubs, hedge and/or climbers along the S boundary in place of T1,T2 & T3 would be greatly appreciated with regard to rear outlook and screening for nearby residents, and habitat connectivity for wildlife.

    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.
