Planning application

2 GAYNESFORD ROAD, LONDON, SE23 2UQ

Granted Lewisham DC/26/143816 Trees in Conservation Areas

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

REAR: ONE Mature Willow (T1):CROWN REDUCTION Ht by 2m from 13m to 11m LATERAL by 2m from 4m to 2m on NE compass point. REASON: Partial reduction of the crown's lower canopy where it overhangs the lawn and patio area, limiting the light to the garden area. Reduction in height to alleviate light issues and maintain balanced shape of the tree. This healthy tree overhangs the grass area and patio at the end of the garden. The top is also out of shape. We request the partially reduction by cutting back 2m of the overhanging main branches that are approximately 4m in length and cutting the top back by 2m. The reduction will restore the crown to a more balanced shape. See drawing of and the photos of the tree. This will be undertaken by our arborist. Informative A: The sensitive management of trees in Lewisham is greatly appreciated for landscape amenity, wildlife, wellbeing, and urban forest canopy for environmental benefits to mitigate the effects of climate change. Informative B: Wherever possible, please create habitat log piles in the garden from cut branches 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

  • DC/26/144936 Granted

    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.
