Planning application
2 Beech Avenue South Croydon CR2 0NL
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
1 x Beech T31: Fell Reason: Extensive crown die-back, similar to the other mature beech trees in this location that have also died or are dying.No obvious disease or fungal fruiting bodies, it seems possible that the beech trees in this location have run out of rootable soil for the sizes of the trees and are now dying. If possible, I would like to request that a replacement tree is secured by condition, with final details (species, size and exact location) to be agreed once the existing tree has been removed and other trees that have permission for removal for the development have been removed. Otherwise replacement details can be agreed during the course of this application. (TPO 145)

The process from here
This application is with Croydon for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
