12 WESTWOOD HILL, LONDON, SE26 6QR
FRONT: Ground works and associated fibrous root pruning to install a root barrier 11m in length and 3.5m in depth within the frontage of 12 Westwood Hill, and minimum 6m from front oak trees in grounds of St Bartholomews Church. Reason: the oak trees have been positively implicated in subsidence damage to front steps/porch at 12 Westwood Hill, the proposal seeks to retain the church oak trees by installing a root barrier which will require removal of small fibrous roots to facilitate installation. Note: Submitted reports may detail tree removal but this is not proposed.Informative A: huge thank you for using a geotextile root barrier to manage the structural issues at no.12 Westwood Hill to retain the church's frontage oaks which contribute significantly to public realm streetscape amenity and the church landscape setting. Informative B: compensation for root loss, such as bark mulch over rooting area would be appreciated if possible.
