Informative A: the landowner has a duty to plant another tree of an appropriate size and species when a tree is removed in a conservation area because it is dead or presents an immediate risk of serious harm. Ref. Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas, guidance, para 121. Informative B: suggest replacement tree species such as crab apple, pear, quince (Cydonia oblonga), mulberry, Magnolia, Cornus mas, Amelanchier, paperbark maple, orange bark myrtle (Luma apiculate) for rear amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change, and could be planted in a cleared area of the lawn near original location. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

Reason: remove canopy deadwood and crossing branches to maintain a balanced healthy canopy. REAR: ONE Dead Sycamore (T8)(ht.8m) FELL. Reason: sycamore is dead, tree replanting proposal - to replant with either a mountain Ash or a Silver birch, planted in close proximity to T8. Duty to replace applies. Informative A: the sensitive crown reductions as annotated images received 26.2.25 are greatly appreciated to retain tree amenity seen side view from Handen Road across surgery car park, for rear outlook amenity and long term tree health; Informative B: the replacement tree for dead sycamore T8 (under duty to replace) is greatly appreciated for the urban forest, rear amenity, wildlife and environmental benefits - rowan has uncertain long-term survival rates locally, and alternative species are suggested such as wild cherry, field maple, wild service tree, alder, hackberry, Zelkova, Nothofagus, Golden Rain Tree/Pride of India (Koelreuteria paniculata); Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity; Informative D: understory trees & shrubs are encouraged for amenity and wildlife such as Magnolia Kobus, Hawthorn, Cornus Kousa, Katsura Tree, holly, Drimys winteri, Viburnum rhytidophyllum, Elaeagnus x ebbingei, Osmanthus x burkwoodii.

REAR: ONE Yew (T1)(ht.12m) FELL. Reason: the yew is close to the rear elevation of no.8, the neighbour's patio, paving and low wall, has a crack. Informative A: crown reduction of yew T1 rather than fell may be worthy of consideration to mitigate issues at 8/10 Handen Road. The council supports alternative management of CROWN REDUCTION ? reduce height by approx.3-4m, radius by approx.2m. Informative B: The retention of trees is encouraged and hugely appreciated for outlook amenity, wellbeing, wildlife habitat, and environmental benefits to mitigate the climate and biodiversity emergencies by improving air quality, flood prevention, wildlife habitat, and cooling temperatures during increasingly hot summers. The London Plan 2021 aims to increase urban forest tree canopy by 10% by 2050 and retaining existing trees is vital to reach this uplift target. Informative C: trees can be retained near buildings and structures ref. NHBC 4.2 building near trees, foundations, water demand of tree species table 3, with appropriate foundations such as pile and beam, bridging lintels over roots in garden walls, avoidance of hard surfacing to maintain rainwater infiltration to meet tree ground water needs.
