45 Thyme Close, London, SE3 9QW

T1 Robinia - an outstanding and beautiful late-mature specimen in the Blackheath Park Conservation Area. The tree is in excellent health and vigour and we do not wish to touch the main part of it in any way. It appears that at some time in the past one of the columns that make up the tree has failed, fallen horizontal and been cut back to within the edge of the canopy. However, regrowth from this large-diameter cross sectional cut has occurred and grown out right over the herbaceous border below. We aim to remove this branch back to the union with the fallen column in order to improve growing conditions for the plants below, which it currently overwhelms.

Prior Approval for the construction of a single storey rear extension which will extend beyond the rear wall of the original dwelling by 6.00m, for which the maximum height will be 3.57m and the height at the eaves will be 2.97m.
