Description

FRONT: ONE Sycamore (T1)(ht.14m) LATERAL REDUCE by 7m from 7m to 0m on W compass point. Reason: remove one branch. A 5m retaining wall within 2m, that borders the Ashmead School, has structural damage, as a large wall buttress has moved away from the wall. An inspection was carried out by a builder followed by a report prepared by a surveyor - the retaining wall assessment April 2025 ? with recommendation to remove the lowest western lateral branch touching the wall. The branch is approximately 7m in length.Informative A: the retention of the tree is greatly appreciated for amenity, wildlife habitat, reducing air pollution from the busy Lewisham Way (A20) and cooling temperatures in the changing climate. Informative B: please create a habitat log pile for wildlife and biodiversity with the wood from the cut-off branch.
