Planning application
26/00760/TCA
Sheridan Court 42 Stockwell Park Road London SW9 0AW
Proposal
T7 Lime (x1) Fell to ground level. Reason: The tree has been planted too close to the pathway. It is now lifting the paving slabs which has created a trip hazard and prevents the gate from opening properly. Severing and digging out the problem root is not an option because it is too close to the trunk and could destablilise the tree.(see photo).

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Lambeth for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
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.
