Dover House Cormont Road London Lambeth SE5 9RE

Granted Lambeth 26/00394/TCA Approval for works to TPO trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Tree Preservation Order 528 (2025), Dover House, Cormont Road. T1 London plane: Reduce the crown spread on the east and south-east sides, facing Dover House, by up to 3m. The finished crown alignment shall extend no further towards the building than the edge of the gravel area between the tree and Dover House, as shown in Photograph 8 of the submitted Tree Inspection Report dated 3 February 2026, reference TI05012601. Raise the crown base on the north side overhanging the adjoining property to provide a clearance of 4m above ground level. T2 London plane: Reduce the crown spread on the east side, facing Dover House, by up to 3m. The finished crown alignment shall extend no further towards the building than 1m from the building-side edge of the gravel area between the tree and Dover House, as shown in Photograph 9 of the submitted Tree Inspection Report dated 3 February 2026, reference TI05012601. Reduce the identified long, low branch on the south-east side overhanging the adjoining property by 3m to 4m, as shown in Photograph 9. All proposed pruning works shall be carried out to suitable growth points, retaining balanced crown forms, and to a satisfactory arboricultural standard in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations. The application separately refers to removal of deadwood exceeding 20mm diameter. Removal of dead branches from a living tree does not require consent and therefore does not form part of the works assessed under this application. Photographs 8 and 9 within the submitted Tree Inspection Report form part of the submitted specification.

The section 211 Conservation Area notification does not state that the trees are subject to a Tree Preservation Order. As the trees are protected, section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 does not apply. This notification has therefore been withdrawn by the Council. Any proposed works to the trees must be submitted as a Tree Preservation Order application and determined in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) (England) Regulations 2012.
