LAND AT THE CORNER OF PERRY VALE AND, DACRES ROAD, LONDON, SE23 2XW
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
FRONT: ONE dead Maple stem (TPO T1) (approx.ht.8-9m) FELL or reduce to safe height if possible for wildlife and biodiversity benefits, least disturbance to wildlife during bird nesting season, and soft fell to leave stem on the ground to enable any roosting bats to make their way out. Reason: tree appears to have been dead for some time and is covered by dense ivy, which is also intertwined with the adjacent ash tree (TPO T2). REPLANTING PROPOSAL: either a Tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) or Japanese Pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum). The London Borough of Lewisham (Land opposite the front gardens of 88-96 Perry Vale SE23 2LQ) Tree Preservation Order 2013. Location: land opposite front gardens of 88-96 Perry Vale, corner with Dacres Road. Informative A: the landowner has a duty to plant a replacement tree if a TPO tree is removed, uprooted or destroyed in contravention of the order or because it is dead or presents an immediate risk of serious harm, ref. Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas, government guidance 6 March 2014, para 79, 80 and 153; Section 206 of Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended). Informative B: replacement tree planting proposal of either Tulip Tree or Japanese Pagoda tree is hugely appreciated for amenity, wildlife, rainwater run-off mitigation and shade to reduce increasingly high and frequent summers due to climate change ? see below for further details. Informative C: newly planted TPO tree and the other 3 TPO trees to have soil amelioration following removal of concrete hardstanding ref. ENF/25/00083: spread mycorrhizal inoculants and biochar or preferably enriched biochar over the RPAs and brush into forked holes or inject into the soil, drench the soil in the RPAs with a compost tea, and spread a 50mm deep mulch over the RPAs clear of the base of tree stems. Informative D: The Bat Conservation Trust advises checking thoroughly for roosting bats before and during tree works with soft fell process followed to proceed with care and with cut timber left grounded over night to allow any bats to make their way out, tree works ideally during Sept/Oct to avoid maternity and hibernation seasons when bats are most vulnerable to disturbance. Informative E: please create habitat log piles with arisings 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.
