   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.

Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

SIDE (Queensthorpe Rd) : ONE Conifer/Cypress (T2)(ht.12m) FELL. Reason given: Located close to the garage, with a high likelihood of structural damage if retained. Fast-growing species, unsuitable for pruning or shaping. Causes heavy shading of surrounding property and land. Limited safe useful life expectancy in this location. Applicant's Public Safety Statement: The works are urgently required to mitigate the risk of tree failure, which could cause serious injury to persons or damage to property. The trees' current condition presents a foreseeable hazard, and the Council is now fully aware of the associated risk. The London Borough of Lewisham (Land at the rear of 1 Earlsthorpe Road London SE26 4PD) Tree Preservation Order 2025. (ref DC/25/141755) Informative A: a heave risk assessment is advised before tree works are undertaken due to proximity with adjacent property no.2 Queensthorpe Road. Informative B: the Bat Conservation Trust advises checking thoroughly for roosting bats before and during tree works with soft fell process followed to proceed with care and with cut timber left grounded over night to allow any bats to make their way out, tree works ideally during Sept/Oct to avoid maternity and hibernation seasons when bats are most vulnerable to disturbance.
