Cathy Erskine states that he has bones asking AA Homes, owned by Anwar Ansari, who eliminate several trees on the ground that supports his property since November 2024, when he states that a branch of one of them crashed his garden.
But despite the repeated attempts of Mrs. Erksine that the company is owned by Ansari, who previously donated £ 20,000 to the mayor of London Sadiq Khan, to eliminate the trees, Shelds Lear Lear.
The fearful branches could fall from the trees at any time, the 61 -year -old woman says that she has reluctant to the children she takes care of when using her gardening until the trees that stand out are removed.
She said: “Children in our care cannot use the garden, it is dangerous. We are talking about large trees. We don’t know when trees will fall. We have had prettier, but we can’t let children play in the garden.
“When it’s a hot day, it’s the best place to be. We wonder how long it will happen before some do something about trees.”
Mrs. Erskine admits that AA Homes quickly removed a branch that landed in her garden in November last year after she committed.
AA Homes said he eliminated the branch in four days and paid Mrs. Erksine £ 100 in compensation for damages to the shed.
Croydon’s real estate developer, Ansari, AA Homes, acquired the 400 -year forest behind Mrs. Erskine’s property in 2004.
The company surveyed the forest in 2017, which local activists were in preparation to present plans to build on Earth. But the application was never submitted.
In 2018, after a community campaign, Lewisham’s council appointed Gorne Wood in Brockley, an asset of community value, which means that AA Homes would have to give the first DIBS to the community groups if he sold the land.
The Fourth Foundation of the Reserve, a charity organization that campaigns to protect wildlife in the area, said there had been ‘continuous problems’ with the management of Gorne Wood, including several fire attempts. A spokesman said: “This is another example of why the forest must be properly managed [by] People who care about protecting nature. ”
AA Homes said he had to get permission from the Lewisham Council before cutting the trees because they are in old and protected forests. The firm blamed the bureaucracy of the Council for delays of eliminating problematic trees.
A spokesman added: “On April 14 we finally arrived at an area with the local authority, since in terms of the allowance of work and we are waiting for the tree surgeon to return soon as next week, Altah an appointment is still pending.”
