T4 Walnut - fell to ground level. As can be clearly seen from one of the photos, the surface dwelling roots of the Juglans are lifting the footpath and have become a trip hazard. Until now, the residents were happy to keep the tree as it adds to the streetscene in the locality. However, Openreach are now installing fibre optic broadband across the entire Cator Estate and the path under which the roots reside is going to be dug up to accommodate this upgrade. Thus, as noted in the Tree Survey, the tree needs to be removed as it would be unsafe to retain given the extensive root pruning that is required.
GRASS VERGE OUTSIDE 11 THE KEEP, BLACKHEATH, LONDON, SE3 0AG · premises record
T1 Silver birch - fell to ground level and grind out root plate - less than six feet away from the front of the owners' property and double the height, several small cavities around the base of the primary stem, large number of cankerous growths all over the tree at every branch union and even along the secondary and tertiary stems in significant numbers right throughout the canopy - the tree has gone from shedding small wispy growth to losing larger stems from all over the canopy. clearly in decline and, given that silver birches are pioneer species and not long-lived. A replacement will be planted within roughly the same location.
T1 Holm Oak - Pruning works back to previous points, to maintain size and shape in a small garden. Reduce height by 3m from 8m to 5m and radial spread by 1m all round from 6m to 4m. Raise canopy enough to clear greenhouse.
Lawful Development Certificate (Proposed) for a single storey flat roofed rear extension of 2.8 metres deep including the installation of one rooflight, in addition to the replacement of a brick wall along the east property line and other interior and exterior works.
Wisteria (T1) suspended by wires from the front of 21 The Keep is causing structural damage. Damage photos 1 and 2 show a gap opening up between a window frame and the outer wall caused by the tree's weight. Damage photo 3 shows the slippage of one of the concrete support pillars between numbers 19 and 21 The Keep, again caused by the weight of the tree on the houses. A branch of wisteria T1 at 21 The Keep was formerly suspended from 19 The Keep but has fallen onto the porch roof of that house. It is proposed to remove the branch leading to 19 The Keep and reduce the crown of the wisteria to a height of six feet in order to relieve the structural stresses on the houses. The proposed work has the consent of the owner of 19 The Keep. It is anticipated that the new growth of wisteria T1 will not subject 21 The Keep to further damage.
Prior notification for the construction of a single storey rear extension which would measure 2.40 metres beyond the rear wall of the property, with a maximum height of 3.00 metres and an eaves height of 2.75 metres.
