Planning application
228 Camberwell New Road London SE5 0RR
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Rear garden adjacent Flodden Road: T1 to T3 Lime. Reduce height by up to 2.5 metres to previously established pruning points. Reduce lateral spread by up to 2 metres to previously established pruning points. Crown lift to 8 metres above ground level. Reason: Trees have been historically managed as pollards. Works are proposed to manage epicormic growth back to previous pruning points to maintain form reduce excessive windsail and limit debris drop during high winds. Council Note: The trees subject to the proposal are identified on site as Lime. Tree Preservation Order No 03 protects G1 Sycamore x5 only and does not protect Lime trees at this location. The trees are therefore not protected by a Tree Preservation Order. As the site lies within the Vassall Road Conservation Area the submission has been assessed as a Section 211 Trees in a Conservation Area notification.
