   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 23 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Lewisham took a median of 53 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Lewisham for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Lewisham is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

  REAR: ONE Oak (T1)(ht.7m)(spread.15m) FELL. Reason: neighbour complains regarding light issues, tree previously reduced, further reduction detrimental to tree, proposed fell and replace with another oak. Surrounding trees being retained include Holly, 2x Lime & Apple. All similar height and spread. The oak tree (T1) has been recently reduced in size away from the neighbouring garden (ref. 6-wk notice DC/25/140264), the neighbour is not happy with the reduction and is asking for a further reduction. The tree owner is concerned that this will damage the tree significantly and has requested a fell with replanting with a younger oak tree. Informative A: thank you for retaining the other rear trees for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to the changing climate. Informative B: huge thank you also for the proposed replacement oak tree to restore the green screen and urban forest canopy for rear amenity, wildlife and environmental benefits, suggest plant the replacement tree away from the rear boundary for a long-term sustainable position. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
