   Added to PlanIndex

The applicant withdrew this application before the council decided it, so it carries no planning weight and no fee refund is automatic. Withdrawal often follows officer feedback that a refusal was likely.

The applicant is free to submit a revised application at any time, and many withdrawn schemes return in amended form, so the site is worth watching if the proposal affected you.

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

  44-46 CANADIAN AVENUE, LONDON, SE6 3AS

  REAR: ONE Maple (T6)(approx.ht.12m) FELL. REAR: ONE: Rowan (T7)(ht.4m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 1.5m from 4m to ht.2.5m, REDUCE SPREAD by 1.5m from 3.5m to 2m. REAR: ONE Rowan (T8)(approx.ht.6m) FELL. REASON: subsidence at adjacent property no.42, which has shallow rear foundations depth 0.6m, roots below foundations identified as Pomoidaceae includes apple, hawthorn, rowan, whitebeam (but not maple), soil not desiccated. Informative A: removal of maple T6 is questioned when no Acer roots were found in root analysis in either TP/BH1 or TP/BH2, soil is not desiccated in either TP/BH and no drains report. Soil plasticity (volume change potential) is low to intermediate. Informative B: As foundations are shallow at 0.6m an engineering solution is encouraged for long term stabilisation of no.42 and tree retention, such as underpinning or flexible, copper impregnated root barrier. Informative C: replacement tree planting is encouraged especially in view of the goodwill financial contribution from environmental services to replace lost trees, wildlife habitat and biodiversity, suggest replacement tree and hedge planting with NHBC low water demand species such as: holly, hazel, elder, fig, Gleditsia, laburnum, magnolia, mulberry, birch. Informative D: thank you for retaining other trees for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative E: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

  38 CANADIAN AVENUE, LONDON, SE6 3AS

  REAR: ONE Eucalyptus (T1)(approx.ht.12m) FELL. Reason: Despite a previous significant crown reduction intended to mitigate the loss of light and enjoyment of the space, the intervention has proven insufficient. The tree's fast-growing habit and dense canopy continue to cause an unreasonable degree of overshadowing. Having explored pruning as a management strategy without success, the only sustainable long-term solution to restore reasonable enjoyment of the property is the removal of the specimen and its replacement with a more suitable species. REPLACEMENT PROPOSAL: 5x trees (Amelanchier, crab apple, wild cherry, field maple, rowan) with bark mulch surround, 3yr watering regime as details received 27.2.26. Informative A: the proposed replacement tree planting with 5x trees as applicant's planting details including watering maintenance proposals received 27.2.26 is hugely appreciated, to replace urban forest canopy benefits, wildlife habitat, the treed character of the conservation area beside the sports field, for flood mitigation, reducing air pollution, carbon capture and cooling air temperatures in increasingly high summer heatwaves due to climate change. Informative B: please plant the replacement trees during the current or next planting season (end Oct-end March). Informative C: please create habitat log piles with some arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative D: to enhance urban greening and wildlife benefits further please consider establishing climbers on fences, and include hedgehog highway holes in fence gravel boards.
