Planning application
22 The Chase London Lambeth SW4 0NH
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
FRONT GARDEN: T1 Common Beech. FELL TO GROUND LEVEL. Council Note: The notifier describes T1 as dead but has submitted the proposed felling through the six week Section 211 notification procedure rather than relying on an exemption. The Council has therefore considered the works as notified and raises no objection.

T1 & T2. Common Lime. Crown height and spread approx 10x5m. To laterally reduce both trees back to their previous reduction points, a reduction of 1-1.5m on average both laterally and in height which will leave finished crowns at approx 8-9x4m. Due to over dominance in their position, encroachment and sapping of the neighbours property to the NNW. Along with overshaded fire escape routes and loss of light to the front of the neighbouring dwellings. T3. London Plane. From NE to SE side of the crown that overhangs the tops of the buildings. Raise this part of the crown to give 3m clearance of the roof and brick work and laterally reduce the same section for 3m back to suitable future growth points. This will leave a distance of 3m from the new pruning points to the historic pollard points. To laterally reduce the remainder of the crown on all other compass points by 2-3m back to suitable future growth points. This is to reduce the overall crown size from a tree which is over dominating it's surroundings including protruding onto dwellings, windows and roof and rubbing brick work. light is now limited onto windows making dwellings dark inside. The tree is also over dominating T1&T2 and the residents have reported an instance of "summer branch drop" To reduce the tree by 4m in height back to suitable future growth points to aesthetically balance the crown after the proposed lateral reductions and reduce the risk of over exposure/sail affect if left not pruned. T3 is approx 20x13m height/spread and proposed reductions to bring the tree to approx 16x10m. T4 &T5. Weeping Ash. Both trees approx 7m high and 4m spread. To raise the crown on the SW, footpath side of the trees only to 3.5m above ground level to prevent vehicle strike. T5 has recently lost a large pendular branch to a passing vehicle. No change in height or lateral spread is to take place.

Tree Preservation Order No. 519 (2025) was made on 29 May 2025 and confirmed without modification on 16 September 2025. 1 x London Plan (T1) - Height 20m+. Reduce height by 4m and lateral spread by 3m on all compass points, back to suitable growth points to give a 3m clearance of the adjacent property. Reason: Heavy loss of light and blocked gutters. 1 x Weeping Ash (x2) G2 - Both 7m high. Crown lift on the footpath side only to 3m above ground level. Reason: Clearance of vehicles and pedestrians. 1 x Common Lime (x2) (G3) both 10m high. Re-pollard to previous reduction points, branch length approx 3m. Reason: Loss of light and over dominance in its surrounding and proximity to neighbouring properties. Council Note: The submitted application uses the applicant's own numbering. It identifies T1 as London plane, G2 as two weeping ash trees and G3 as two common lime trees. This does not correspond with Tree Preservation Order No. 519 (2025), which protects the trees individually as T1 Common lime, T2 Common lime, T3 London plane, T4 Weeping ash and T5 Weeping ash. The application has been assessed by reference to the physical trees identified on the submitted sketch plan and the corresponding protected tree numbers within Tree Preservation Order No. 519 (2025).
