Awaiting decision

Lewisham took a median of 53 days over the applications it decided in the last year.
What happens while it is decided
The process from here
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.
About this record
Reading the register
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.

FRONT: ONE Olive tree (T4)(ht.7.5m) FELL. Reason: structural issue, to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability to the site. Informative A: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

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.

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. This green buffer provides separation and screening between the properties in Burleigh Walk to the rear, contributes to London's Urban Forest, supports wildlife and creates seasonal interest. 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).
