  REAR: ONE Himalayan Birch (T1 )(ht.10m) FELL. Reason: proximity to rear elevation and suggested is causing internal cracking and movement, health and safety, blocks light, overhangs neighbours garden. Informative A: birch is a NHBC low water demand species - to determine if a tree may be causal in structural issues it is usual for site investigation to be undertaken into foundation depth, soil type, level monitoring and tree root identification below foundation. Informative B: replacement tree planting is encouraged further from the rear elevation, for rear amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to climate change, suggest species selected from NHBC low water demand list such as birch, elder, hazel, laburnum, magnolia, mulberry, holly. Informative C: please create habitat log piles and dead hedge with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

  REAR: ONE Sycamore (T1)(ht.10-12m) FELL. Reason: the multi-stemmed tree is pushing against and causing the rear garden side boundary wall between no.8 and no.10 to move off-vertical and crack. Informative A: removing only the stem(s) closest to the wall is encouraged with any roots accommodated by a bridging lintel in the wall to retain stems for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to climate change. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: please plant new tree(s), species such as crab apple, whitebeam, pear, Persian Ironwood (Parrotia persica), bird cherry, paperbark maple, hazel, hawthorn, holly, strawberry tree, mulberry, medlar, Albizzia julibrissin, Judas Tree (Cercis siliquastrum) to maintain the treed landscape character of Brockley conservation area, for rear amenity and wildlife habitat. Informative D: while the council may raise no objection to the tree works, before any tree works are undertaken prior consent and any permissions such as for access need to be obtained from the owner of the tree.

  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.
