    Tree Species: Holm Oak (Quercus ilex)- Location: Tree is circled in red on both plan (Ref 1. - 101 Grove Park Holm Oak Removal - Plan) and image (Ref 2. - 101 Grove Park Holm Oak Removal - Image). The tree lies entirely within the boundary of 101 Grove Park rear garden. 101 Grove Park lies within the Camberwell Conservation Area (Ref 3. - 101 Grove Park - Area Map). Description of works: Complete removal of tree (reduction, leaving a 30cm stump). Reason: The tree is too large for the garden and the roots are causing damage to a boundary fence. Tree to be removed and replaced with something more proportionate in size and sympathetic in species with the other garden flora (predominately wild flowers and fruit trees). Replacement: winter-flowering cherry 'Autumnalis Rosea'
