Planning application
27 Albert Embankment London SE1 7AP
Works: Trees
Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.
Proposal
8 x Birch - Crown reduce the height by 20% (approx. 2m) Crown reduce the spread to balance and shape (approx. 1m) Crown thin by 10% and remove dead wood Maintenance works in line with good arboricultural practice 2 x Dead Birch - Cut entire as close to ground level as practically possible The trees are situated in a resin-bond and therefore bringing the trees down to the same level may not be possible Council Note : The site is not within a Conservation Area and the Section 211 notification procedure does not apply. The TCA record is therefore withdrawn and no decision is made under Section 211. Lambeth Council made provisional TPO No. 536 2026 on 19 June 2026 in respect of trees at the site. Any proposed works to trees covered by the Order now require a formal TPO application.
