Proposal

ONE Acacia - Yellow - CROWN REDUCTION Tree height at 14mt to be reduced by 3mt to 11mt - tree width at 10mt to be reduced by 2mt to 8mt - thin canopy by 20% . The tree exhibits a co-dominant stem structure. The proposed reduction is intended to reduce end-weight and wind loading, thereby lowering biomechanical stress at the stem unions.

Site constraints 8

Blackheath conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
Small HMO Northern Extension. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Air quality management area: Lewisham AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
