THE COTTAGE, 6A ST GERMANS PLACE, BLACKHEATH, LONDON, SE3 0NH
The 3 trees are Lime trees - Tilia ssp. Tiliaceae. I am applying to have the trees removed due to the damage they are causing to the wall they are adjacent to. The structural survey (attached) was carried out and an inspection pit was dug to reveal the foundations of the wall. The report found cracking, bulging and leaning in the wall. The cause of the damage was identified as tree roots and root penetration which are causing movement to the boundary wall. The wall is leaning in the direction of the driveway of the adjacent property, Lynher Lodge. If the wall does fall it has potential to cause damage to any person (s) walking in the driveway or cars that are travelling up the drive to access the car parking area at the back. A plan is attached showing the location of the 3 trees in the driveway
