• ASHMEAD PRIMARY SCHOOL, ASHMEAD ROAD, LONDON, SE8 4DX

  DC/26/143752 Submitted 21 Apr 2026 85m away

  REAR: ONE Oak (T1)(ht.14m) FELL and replace with another oak. REASON: health & safety, large branch recently fell into nursery play area from an offsite tree, resulting in a near miss, issue unresolved with neighbour so nursery play area closed and relocated to alternative play area in school. To make new play area permanent, essential onsite tree (T1) is removed to facilitate the expansion of a safe and accessible nursery play area. The tree's root system has caused significant surface disruption and persistent trip hazards which directly compromises child safety and prevents the ground from being properly levelled. By removing the tree, the nursery can use the area without worry of compromising safety standards. Please see attached letter from the school. REPLACEMENT: another oak will be planted as a replacement in the forest area in the middle play area near the adjacent property The Stone House, 281 Lewisham Way. Informative A: huge thank you for planting a replacement oak tree for amenity, wildlife, and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with same arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
