Planning application

21/1905/TC

5 WEST GROVE, GREENWICH, LONDON, SE10 8QT

Granted Greenwich Tree works in a Conservation Area

Proposal

The tree in question is a mature sycamore, shown as T1 on the plan (see 'Tree Location and Quality Assessment 5 West Grove Greenwich'). There is no requirement to fell or perform crown works to this tree; this application supports a permitted development certificate for a small outbuilding within the RPA of T1. The outbuilding will be constructed entirely with pile foundations, using the Abbey Pynford Treesafe Foundation system (see the 'Treesafe-Brochure'). A detailed specification of works, survey schedule and Tree Protection Plan are provided within the attached arboricultural impact assessment and arboricultural method statement.

As published by the council, reference 21/1905/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.
