Planning application

23 Smitham Bottom Lane Purley CR8 3DE

Withdrawn Croydon 21/03762/CAT Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.

Proposal

Sycamore (E1), Beech (E2) and Lime (E3). These trees hang directly over the swimming pool and deposit large amounts of leaves and spines into the water. It will only require removal of only the branches that are directly over the pool.
