ASHMEAD PRIMARY SCHOOL, ASHMEAD ROAD, LONDON, SE8 4DX
REAR: ONE Maple (T12)(ht:12m, rs:10m): CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 2m to ht.10m, REDUCE RADIUS by 2m to r.8m. Reason: to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points to maintain natural aesthetic, to manage within setting, previously reduced.REAR: ONE Acacia (T21)(ht:20m, rs:16m): CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 5m to ht.15m, REDUCE RADIUS by 5m to r.11m. Reason: health & safety, a tree survey raised need for an aerial inspection particularly regarding a couple of branch unions. It is a high target area, with a treehouse and playground under the tree so a heavy reduction is recommended. The tree will tolerate the pruning, to suitable points to shape canopy and maintain natural aesthetic where possible.REAR: THREE dead Sycamores (G37)(ht:c.8m): FELL. Reason: trees are dead and present a hazard, wood will be stacked as habitat. It is a densely wooded area so no replanting is necessary.REAR: ONE Sycamore (T39)(ht:14m, rs:12m): CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 3m to ht.11m, REDUCE RADIUS by 3m to r.9m. Reason: A large limb snapped during wind landing in the nursery playground. The canopy has been reduced before, the repeat reduction pruning to suitable points to shape canopy, maintain natural aesthetic, improve light conditions.REAR: ONE Sycamore (T40)(ht:14m, rs:12m): CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 3m to ht.11m, REDUCE RADIUS by 3m to r.9m. Reason: repeat reduction, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic, improve light conditions.Informative A: one replacement tree is encouraged to maintain mixed age treed stock and treed school character longterm, suggested species: Italian alder, Hackberry, Kentucky Coffee Tree, wild cherry, Liquidambar, Gleditsia 'Skyline'.Informative B: wood being stacked in log piles for habitat and biodiversity is hugely appreciated.
