Sycamore tree - Current height: approx. 11-14m. Current lateral spread: approx. 3.5-5.5m. Proposed reduction: 1.5-2m in height and 1-1.5m in lateral spread (back to previous pollard points) Finished height: approx. 10-12m Finished lateral spread: approx. 2-4m. Two lime trees - Current height: approx. 12-14m Current lateral spread: approx. 4m Proposed reduction: 2-2.5m in height and 2m in lateral spread (back to previous pollard points) Finished height: approx. 10-12m Finished lateral spread: reduced proportionately and to a balanced crown shape T1 on sketch plan: Individual lime tree (to the side of the flats) Current height: approx. 11.5?12m Current lateral spread: approx. 11.5?12m Proposed reduction: 1.5?2m in height and lateral spread (back to previous pollard points) Finished height: approx. 10m Finished lateral spread: reduced proportionately and to a balanced crown shape
T1 Holm Oak - this tree, growing in the border of Morden Road Mews (to the rear of no.6 The Keep), requires pruning to manage its size for the residents of the garden over which it grows. It has been pruned on the road side, to allow bin lorries etc to pass freely, but has been allowed to overextend the garden quite considerably. As well as lifting the canopy by removing the lowest few branches over the boundary fence (to enable the owners to replace / repair structures in the back of the garden), we're applying to reduce the radial spread over the garden (of no.6 The Keep) by 2m from 5m to 3m to match the roadside and a reduction in height by 3m from 7m to 4m and shape accordingly.
We wish to prune a Laurel hedge and a Leylandii tree so that excessive growth is cut back and dead wood removed. Leylandii tree reduction: to reduce the height by up to 6 metres. The tree has large areas of dysfunctional and decaying wood, with dead foliage on lower branches and distributed around the upper branches, leading to brown discolouration. Laurel bush reduction: cutting back excessive growth by up to 4 metres to reduce height and allow light into garden to permit growth of other species. All work as per application approved in May 2024 and not yet carried out, but coppicing where necessary to remove dead wood or insect infestation.
An application submitted under Section 96a of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 for a non-material amendment in connection with the planning permission dated 26/11/2025 (Ref: 25/3078/HD) for "Installation of new PVCu replacement windows to the front of the property", in order to: -Add two windows to the approved plans, to be constructed in the same materials and design as those already approved.
Certificate of Lawfulness (Proposed) is sought for the erection of a single storey rear extension and associated works
Construction of a single-storey rear extension and the addition of a detached garden room office and an enclosure for air source heat pump.
T1 Hybrid Oak. This is a BCER-owned street tree adjacent to the boundary of no.89 Blackheath Park. We ask permission for a 2m reduction (from 7m to 5m radial spread) of branches back to suitable growth points on all compass directions on the lower half of the canopy. Nothing to be removed off the height or the upper half of the canopy. Our aim is to discourage more lower lateral growth, which is the problem. Also the removal of the lowest few tertiary branches above the garden building and over the road.
Repairs of flat roof (including, removal of the existing leaking Ashphalt/Bitumen roof, sagging timber structure, installation of new roof substructure with a new GRP flat roof, upstands, trims and flashings).
REAR: ONE Robinia (T1)(ht.14m) FELL. Reason: tree has grown too large for its environment, has grown too close to a large brick wall (please see attached photos) and also grown over neighbours garage. Informative A: many thanks for retaining other trees including the nearby mature oak, for urban greening amenity, wildlife habitat and for shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: retaining the Robinia with crown reduction is encouraged rather than felling to retain urban greening and environmental benefits. Informative C: if felled, replacement tree planting is encouraged, species such as field maple, Golden Rain Tree/Pride of India (Koelreuteria paniculata), Katsura (Cercidiphyllum japonicum), Japanese pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum), Kentucky Coffee Tree (Gymnocladus dioica), grey alder, Italian alder, Bee-bee tree (Tetradium daniellii), Judas Tree (Cercis siliquastrum), Magnolia Kobus. 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: encourage retaining a high stump and creating habitat log piles with arisings on site for wildlife and biodiversity.
FRONT: ONE Holly tree (T1) Crown Reduction Ht by 2m from 6m to 4m SPREAD by 2m from 3.5m to 1.5m Informative A: The sensitive management of the tree is greatly appreciated for landscape amenity, wildlife, wellbeing, and urban forest canopy for environmental benefits to mitigate the effects of climate change. Informative B: Wherever possible, please create habitat log piles in the garden from cut branches for wildlife and biodiversity.
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.
FRONT: ONE Hawthorn tree (T3) CROWN REDUCTION Ht by 1.5m from 5m to 3.5m Spread by 0.9m from 3.5m to 2.6m and reshape. Remove dead wood REASON: Routine maintenance. REAR: ONE Bay tree (T1) CROWN REDUCTION Ht by 1.2m from 4m to 2.8m Spread by 0.7m from 2.5m to 1.8m by removing regrowth and reshape REASON: Routine maintenance. Informative A: The sensitive management of the trees is greatly appreciated for landscape amenity, wildlife, wellbeing, and urban forest canopy for environmental benefits to mitigate the effects of climate change. Informative B: Wherever possible, please create habitat log piles in the garden from cut branches for wildlife and biodiversity.
REAR: ONE Olive (T1)(ht.8m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 3m to ht.5m. Reason: general maintenance REAR: ONE Bay (T2)(ht.8m) FELL. Reason: growing against the boundary wall, multi-stemmed, ongoing growth is causing direct impact and structural pressure to the wall, stems showing signs of decay. Informative A: a replacement tree is encouraged such as hawthorn, elder, hazel, crab apple, magnolia, Amelanchier, Pear, Quince (Cydonia oblonga), holly, Laburnum, strawberry tree, for rear amenity, wildlife, and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
Application for a Lawful Development Certificate (Existing) submitted under Section (191) of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) for the construction of a conservatory at the rear of 5 Birchmere Row, SE3.
Demolition of existing boundary wall and erection of replacement with associated works.
Construction of a new welfare building and associated landscaping works within Greenwich Park.
FRONT GARDEN - T1 - Robinia - Crown Reduction. Current diameter approx 9m. Current Height approx 12m. We propose to reduce diameter to 7m and the height to 10m. Reason for works: to avoid encroaching on the house.
Elm (part of H1 on Survey) - fell. Reasons - growing in a raised border behind a retaining wall. It has been allowed to outgrow the hedge within which it sits and is now physically pushing against the wall. It will cause damage to the wall, which separates The Keep from the railway line, if left to its own devices. Arbutus (T001 on Survey) - Thin internal growth and remove crossing branches. Cut back from street light to give 1m clearance. Soft Maple (T9 on Survey) - Reduce to old points. Reduce height by 4m from 12m to 8m and radial spread by 3m from 6m to 3m all round.
