Trees 1 and 2 are both birch trees. They have not produced leaves or shown any growth for over 18 months. A tree surgeon from Special Branch 24/7 Tree Surgeons has identified that they are dead. If they were to fall they could cause damage to fences and the owner's or the neighbour's property. It is proposed that they should be felled. Two similar trees can be planted within 2m of the current locations.

Change of use from amenity land to residential demolition of a brick garden wall and erection of a timber close boarded garden fence.

Change of use of the land from privately owned amenity land to a private garden incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house at 39 Alphington Avenue, and enlargement of the curtilage of the dwelling house and erection of replacement fencing.

Erection of fences, walls and gates and associated landscaping (part retrospective)

T1- Remove alder to ground level. There is a historical wound and rot evident at its base, the tree is also leaning away from the wound so there are fears it could fail. T2- Remove 2 conifers to ground level, to allow more light into the property. T3- Lift conifer by 5m to allow more light into the property again. The current height 15m tall 4.5m wide, no change for this work. T4- Remove limb off laurel which is resting on the fence to avoid further damage to the property. T5- Reduce hazel by 50%, this will reduce overly weighted branches and remove hazardous deadwood. The current height is 7.5m tall 4.5m wide and will be 4.5m high and 3m wide following the proposed work. T6- Reduce oak by 2.5m and remove lowest limb, this is to keep size maintainable in the future as it leans heavily over a public children's play area, and the client is aware of liability where safety concerns lie. Current height is 18.5m and 14m wide, and will be 16m high and 12m wide following the proposed work. T7- Cut back/pollard 3 alders back to the property boundary, this is to reduce weight as they lean very heavily toward the property. The current height is 7.5m tall and 2m wide, then will become 3m high and 0.5m wide following the proposed work. T8- Reduce Laburnum by 50% from 4.5m tall and 2m wide, to 2.5m tall and 1m wide to keep the size small and manageable for the client.
