267 Kennington Road London SE11 6BY
Proposal
The tree in question is an Oak tree located in the front garden at 267 Kennington Road. It is currently the only tree present in this front garden. The application is to fell this Oak tree. The principle reason for felling is its proximity to the building structure of 267 Kennington Road and neighbouring properties. The tree is around 5m from the property and has a huge growth potential (around 45m in height). The beautiful terraced houses on Kennington Road are rightly conserved and as this tree grows its root system could disrupt the foundations of these properties. In addition, the base of the tree already lies very close to the old coal storage areas underneath the front garden where root damage is likely to start affecting the brickwork. Furthermore, this large tree and close proximity does and will cause excessive shading to the surrounding properties. Once felled, a new Cherry tree with a reduced growth potential will be planted in its place (height potential 4-8m). In my opinion this will provide an improved visual appearance of the conservation area and reduce the impact of structural damage within the conservation area.

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.
