13 ST JOHN'S VALE, LONDON, SE8 4EA
FRONT: ONE Sycamore (T1)(approx.ht.14m)(spread 9.5m) FELL. Reason: multi-stemmed tree sharing root structure, tree has previously been identified as causing subsidence damage to the property which historically has been poorly repaired. New damage is now occurring to the front corner of the property, remedial work to fix this damage cannot go ahead until the tree has been removed. Informative A: the applicant's proposal to plant a voluntary replacement tree at this prominent corner location is hugely appreciated to replace streetscape amenity and environmental benefits, suggest the replacement tree is selected from the NHBC low water demand species list such as Honey Locust (Gleditsia), Laburnum, holly, Magnolia Kobus, mulberry, birch. Informative B: please create habitat log piles on site with some arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
