FRONT (Waldenshaw Rd): TWO Sycamore (T1, T2)(ht.11m) FELL and replace. Reason: sycamore (T1) is a long-term repeat low pollard, sycamore (T2) has regrown from a tree stump and has a previous expired tree notice to fell and replace (DC/20/115672). Both trees have started to outgrow their situation and are cracking the adjacent car park wall. Informative A: the planting of 2 voluntary replacement trees, agreed in applicant's email 6 July 2022, is greatly appreciated to maintain landscape amenity and the urban forest canopy as required by The London Plan 2021 for 10% uplift of London's tree canopy cover by 2050 to reduce air pollution and mitigate climate emergency. Informative B: suggested replacement tree species are: field maple, wild cherry, crab apple, wild service tree, whitebeam, Robinia, Gleditsia triacanthos 'skyline', Liquidambar, Tibetan cherry, Magnolia Kobus, Styrax japonicus. Informative C: where possible create log and wood piles on site or stack cut branches horizontally between poles as 'dead hedges' for wildlife habitat and biodiversity.

FRONT: ONE Damson (T1)(ht.6-8m) remove deadwood, crossing branches and epicormics, no change to tree dimensions. Reason: routine maintenance. REAR: ONE dead Cherry (T2)(ht.3m) FELL. Reason: the tree is dead and in the middle of the lawn, space will be found to stack timber for wildlife habitat. REAR (no 82): ONE Holly (T3)(ht.12m) LATERAL REDUCE by approx.1-2m on W compass point. Reason: to remove overhanging branches and previous poor pruning stubs to collar, from the tree in the neighbours property which is casting shade on the lawn. REAR: FOUR Holly and TWO Ash (G1)(ht.14m) FELL. Reason: the trees are causing shade on both sides of the fence, to replace with mixed species hedge along rear garden boundaries. Species such as: hawthorn, wild privet, holly, hazel, Cotoneaster franchetii, hornbeam, beech, dogwood, spindle, snowberry, yew, guelder rose, escallonia. (note: alternative management to retain G1 with crown reduction and under plant with shade tolerant ground cover plants and bulbs is encouraged) REAR: ONE Lawson Cypress (T4)(ht.8m) FELL. Reason: The tree is of low amenity value and causing a lot of shade on both sides of the fence. Informative A: It would be greatly appreciated if the tree group G1 could be retained with crown reduction rather than fell. These trees contribute to the urban tree canopy and the wooded rear outlook and amenity of the rear gardens enclosed by London Rd, Honor Oak Rd, Waldenshaw Rd and Manor Mount. They provide wildlife habitat, shade in hot summers, reduce storm water run-off and reduce air pollution from the heavily trafficked London Road (South Circular). Informative B: the creation of habitat log piles from cut timber is greatly appreciated. Informative C: the planting of mixed species hedging along garden boundaries is hugely welcome for wildlife and environmental benefits. RHS research shows Cotoneaster franchetii to be 20% more effective in trapping emissions beside roads than other species tested.
