Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
REAR: ONE Plum (T1)(ht. approx. 5m) FELL. Reason: significant ivy infestation with two established vines comparable in diameter to the host trunk, causing structural lean and loss of vertical growth habit; poor amenity value. Replacement planting of two mature trees proposed. Informative A: huge thank you for planting two replacement trees for amenity, wildlife and to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change, suggested species such as elder, crab apple, quince (Cydonia oblonga), pear, hawthorn, goat or grey willow, hazel, Harlequin Glorybower (Clerodendrum trichotomum), Cornus controversa, alder buckthorn. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings and if possible retain safe standing stem with ivy stems for wildlife habitat and biodiversity.

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.
