   Decision issued: Raise No Objection

3. 28 Jul 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

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.

  101 WALLER ROAD, LONDON, SE14 5LB

  REAR: ONE Hawthorn (T1)(approx.ht.6m) FELL. Reason: completely ivy covered, many dead branches, fungal decay, close to rear of properties, overhanging two rear gardens. Not safe. Health and safety concerns. Informative: Duty to replace - the owner has a duty to plant another tree of an appropriate size and species in a suitable place nearby as soon as he or she reasonably can, if a tree in a conservation area is removed because it is dead or presents an immediate risk of serious harm under 5 Day Notice. (Para 121 of Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas guidance). It is noted with thanks that replacement broadleaved tree(s) are planned and will be maintained. This is hugely appreciated in times of Climate Emergency declared by Lewisham Council in March 2019 and to support the urban forest canopy. A replacement hawthorn further down the garden away from property would be beneficial for wildlife. Informative: Where a tree is on the boundary and is the joint responsibility of the applicant and the neighbour, or where consent is sought for trees on adjacent properties, any necessary agreements or permissions from the owner(s) need to be obtained before carrying out any tree work that may be permitted by the LPA. The cut off parts of the tree remain the owner's property and should be offered back.
