Proposal
REAR: ONE Ash tree (A)(approx.ht.15m) FELL. Reason: excessive shade, previously crown reduced, close to boundary fence, potential damage and debris to rear parking area. Voluntary replacement trees of more suitable size to continue the green buffer between the rear garden and Burleigh Walk properties. Informative: the proposed planting of replacement trees is hugley appreciated to retain the rear amenity of the green boundary of the Culverly Green conservation area.

Suggested replacement trees such as wild cherry, Tibetan cherry, field maple, whitebeam, Robinia pseudoacacia, birch, Laburnum, Judas Tree, Wild Service Tree, crab apple, pear, Euodia hupehensis (the Bee Tree), Davidia involucrata (The Handkerchief Tree), Gymnocladus dioica (The Kentuckey Coffee Tree), small leaved lime, crab apple, hawthorn, holly, Koelreuteria paniculata (Golden Rain Tree).

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
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.
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.

DC/26/143356 Granted
150 INCHMERY ROAD, LONDON, SE6 1DF
REAR: TWO: Leylandii Trees (T1, T2)(ht.11m & 12m) FELL. Reason: removal of these trees and replanting with a smaller species would better suit the space available. The leylandii do provide good screening, but crown reduction would leave a sparse canopy, unusual shape unlikely to foliage re-green. Replanting proposal: to plant one replacement tree (native species, approx.ht.2.5-3m) within the rear garden. Informative A: the replacement planting with a native tree is hugely supported, and additional planting is encouraged with a second tree and a mixed native species hedge to improve screening and maintain wildlife habitat at the end of the rear garden. Suggested tree species: strawberry tree, whitebeam, crab apple, hazel, holly, goat willow, spindle, common pear. Hedge shrubs: hawthorn, hazel, holly, alder buckthorn, wild privet. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with some arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
