Planning application

UPLAND COURT, LONDON ROAD, LONDON, SE23 3TX

Granted Lewisham DC/24/135132 Trees in Conservation Areas

Works: Trees

Relates to DC/22/125816

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

FRONT: ONE Ash (T1)(ht:9m): FELL. FRONT: FIVE Laurel (T2-T5)(ht:5-7m): FELL Reason: repeat of previously granted notice DC/22/125816, trees are in front of currently redundant substation which needs to be utilised for network reinforcement works, with underground cables due to be installed, the easement area must be kept clear of vegetation under the terms of the lease, the trees are not able to be replaced. Informative A: the loss of vegetation is unfortunate as it reduces air pollution from the busy south circular road. It would be greatly appreciated if replacement shrubs or hedging could be planted on land adjacent to the easement or on the other side of the access drive for amenity, urban greening, wildlife and environmental benefits, species such as Cotoneaster franchetii which traps 20% more emissions than other hedges tested by the RHS.

As published by the council, reference DC/24/135132
