Dulwich Common, 26

Proposal:

Species and Location of Trees

T1.          A Contorted Willow tree approximately 12m in height, situated in the front right-hand corner on the boundary with Dulwich Common.  The tree is a little dense and wide spreading.

T2.          A Eucalyptus tree approximately 10m in height, situated on the right-hand side boundary midway down the rear garden.  The tree is a little dense and wide spreading into a Maple tree in the adjoining garden of no.28.

Description of Approved Works

T1.          Remove and the roots grubbed out.

T2.          Crown thin by 20% including the removal of dead wood and necessary trimming back from the adjacent maple tree.  The height and basic shape should be retained.  It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

Details of Replacement Required

As a condition of the removal of (T1) above, a replacement tree should be planted in a convenient location near the front boundary and below are the three alternative species for consideration:

Crataegus ‘Paul’s Scarlet’              (Crimson May tree)

Acer griseum                                      (Paperbark Maple)

Laburnus x vossii                              (Golden Chain)

The new tree should be planted during the November 2022 and March 2023 planting season with a stem girth of between 14-16cm at 1m above ground level and at a minimum height of 3m.

 

Status:
