FLAT 1, 100 COURT ROAD, ELTHAM, LONDON, SE9 5NS
COMMON HOLLY - ILEX AQUIFOLIUM (TAG NO 47 ON ATTACHED MAP) WORKS RELATING TO THIS APPLICATION: Fell and remove entire tree REASON: As stated in email of 11th April 2025 @ 15:28 Has developed two significant areas of dead foliage in the lower branches close to head height over the last month or so; The trunk seems to have moved further eastwards over the winter, probably because there are no live branches on its north or northwest face. We presume these dead branches and canopy have died because of crowding by neighbouring trees; There are many dead stems in the upper crown and the whole tree is showing signs of advanced decline, which is now being exacerbated by the recent dying branches. This evident decay is continuing and as of July 2025 the majority of living foliage comes from neighbouring trees which would benefit after the felling of this Holly.
