Planning application

21/1699/TC

ROYAL ARTILLERY BARRACKS, REPOSITORY ROAD, WOOLWICH, SE18 4BG

Granted Greenwich Tree works in a Conservation Area

Proposal

Fell - Robinia tree located in the Woolwich Barracks is causing major issues to the paving and a small wall. We would look to apply for root pruning but are concerned the amount of root issues will cause more problems for the tree. Another large shrub/tree will be planted in its place.

As published by the council, reference 21/1699/TC

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

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.
