Planning application
4 MARY LAWRENSON PLACE, LONDON, SE3 7AY
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Removal of one Leylandii, which is the central one of a bank of 3 (Tree 2* on the sketch plan), located at the rear of the property. The trees were planted very close together, and as they have matured, this has resulted in overcrowding and affected the healthy growth of them. I am only seeking approval to remove the central tree, at this time. None of the trees can be seen from the road.
