Planning application

26/00923/TCA

308 Kennington Lane London Lambeth SE11 5HY

Refused Lambeth Approval for works to TPO trees

Proposal

Tree Preservation Order 36 (1975) protects the following two trees individually: T1 London plane is the road-side tree. T2 London plane is the building-side tree. (T1) Plane- Crown lift to 6m prune back from building by 2-3m, remove major deadwood Height from 18.0m to a minimum of 15.0m, Crown spread from 16.0m to a minimum of 13.0m Crown height from 4.5m to 6.0m (T2) Plane- Crown lift to 6m prune back from building by 2-3m, remove major deadwood. Clear street lamp. Height from 17.0m to a minimum of 14.0m, Crown spread from 15.0m to a minimum of 12.0m, Crown height from 4.5m to 6.0m (T3) Lime - Remove major deadwood and trunk epicormics up to crown break. (T4) Lime (smaller tree)-Remove trunk epicormics up to crown break. Council Note: Tree Preservation Order 36 (1975) protects T1 London plane and T2 London plane. This report uses the Tree Preservation Order numbering throughout. TPO 36: T1 London plane is the roadside tree. TPO 36: T2 London plane is the building-side tree. The submitted application and sketch plan appear to reverse this numbering. The application has therefore been assessed by reference to the physical trees shown on the submitted plan and the protected tree numbers in Tree Preservation Order 36 (1975). The refusal of this application relates only to the proposed works to TPO 36: T1 London plane and TPO 36: T2 London plane. The submitted application also includes works to T3 Lime and T4 Lime. These trees are not protected by Tree Preservation Order 36 (1975), but are located within CA56 Vauxhall Gardens Conservation Area. The Council raises no objection to the notified works to T3 Lime and T4 Lime. This decision DOES NOT grant consent for any works to TPO 36: T1 London Plane or TPO 36: T2 London plane.

What refusal means

The process from here

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

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.
