Planning application
46 Josephine Avenue London SW2 2LA
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Crown clearance from current height of 20m and spread of 15m to 3m and 5m due to overhanging onto the highway and street lamp. Officer note: The tree subject of this notification is protected by Tree Preservation Order 497 confirmed on 06 August 2024. Section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 does not apply to TPO protected trees. This notification has therefore been withdrawn by the Council. Any proposed works must be submitted under the Tree Preservation Order application process in accordance with the Tree Regulations 2012.
