Planning application

38 Criffel Avenue London SW2 4BN

Granted Lambeth 26/00002/TCA Approval for works to trees in CA

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Back Garden: T1 Apple. Fell to Ground Level. T2 Wisteria and Pyracantha 50% Reduction. Council Note: Section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 applies only to works to trees within a conservation area. The notification also refers to works to shrubs and climbers, including wisteria and pyracantha, which are not protected or controlled under section 211. The Council has therefore assessed and recorded its position only in respect of the tree works. No consideration has been given to works to shrubs or climbers, and no consent is required from the Council for such works.
