REAR OF 6 THE KEEP, BLACKHEATH, LONDON, SE3 0AF

Granted Greenwich 26/0507/TC Tree works in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 Holm Oak - this tree, growing in the border of Morden Road Mews (to the rear of no.6 The Keep), requires pruning to manage its size for the residents of the garden over which it grows. It has been pruned on the road side, to allow bin lorries etc to pass freely, but has been allowed to overextend the garden quite considerably. As well as lifting the canopy by removing the lowest few branches over the boundary fence (to enable the owners to replace / repair structures in the back of the garden), we're applying to reduce the radial spread over the garden (of no.6 The Keep) by 2m from 5m to 3m to match the roadside and a reduction in height by 3m from 7m to 4m and shape accordingly.
