2A POND ROAD, BLACKHEATH, LONDON, SE3 9JL
T1 Purple hazel, multi-stemmed: reduce height to 2.8M to avoid interference with crown of TPO25; also slight thinning of stems, allowing more light and space for new hazel growth. T2a-c Photinias, group of 3 multi-stemmed: reduce to 2.8M high and approximately 3 metres wide, to balance the form and minimise overhang into gardens of 53 and 53a Blackheath Park; prune any very low stems, to make space and light for underplanting with native perennials and ground cover. In the main garden space: T3 Parrotia, multi-stemmed: minimal reduction in height and spread of 2-3 stray branches by 1-2M each, to improve the shape of the tree and eliminate abrasion potentially caused by criss-crossing stems T4 Catalpa, multi-stemmed: reduce crown height and width to approximately 3.5m x 3.5m, to create more light and space for adjacent Gingko and Eucalyptus, and to boost Catalpa foliage growth. T6 Bay laurel: reduction overall to approximately 4m high x 2.5m spread, to avoid interference with garage gutters and allow more light into the garden of 2 Pond Road [note: this tree was reduced and thinned about 4 years ago, T7a-b Silver birches: reduction (by approximately 1.5m) to lateral branches that interfere with the guttering of The Vicarage at 2 Pond Road, and if necessary reduction of these 2 trees on the 2a Pond Road driveway side, to ensure balanced shape and equilibrium. (FORMAL CONSET NOT REQUIRED BUT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED - T5 Azara microphylla: unfortunately this specimen has failed, so needs to be taken out; we will be planting more trees in the garden later this year, especially nectar rich species Adjacent to 2a Pond Road's boundary fence with The Vicarage, 2 Pond Road)
