   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 24 October 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.

  FRONT (Kitto Rd): ONE Elder (T1)(ht.5m, spread 5m) FELL. Reason: growing from base of historic churchyard wall which needs to be replaced for pedestrian safety. FRONT (corner Kitto/Pepys Rds): ONE Horse Chestnut (T2)(ht.9m, spread 4m) FELL to 1.5m stump. Reason: Severe basal decay, white rot cavity at approx 1.5m from ground level. Hazardous. FRONT (Pepys Rd): ONE twin-stem Plum (T4)(ht.6m) remove 1x leaning stem (see submitted photo). Reason: over path obstruction, clearance to churchyard path & mitigate unstable lean - minor movement at base, removing the bough should help mitigate the severe lean, suspect the root ball has begun to lift. REPLANTING PROPOSAL: The customer has agreed to replant with native deciduous trees - see informative A. Informative A: the replacement tree planting is hugely appreciated to maintain the treed character of the setting of the church in its prominent location at the junction of several roads and opposite Telegraph Hill Lower Park, suggested species: T1 - another elder; T2 ? Hornbeam, sessile oak or Indian Horse Chestnut. Informative B: thank you for retaining the standing high stump of T2 for wildlife habitat and biodiversity, please create habitat log piles with arisings also for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: huge thank you for maintaining the treed setting to the church and planting replacement trees for streetscape amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change.

  Revised specification agreed 09/09/2019: REAR: ONE Sycamore (T1)(ht.approx.12-14m) REDUCE HEIGHT by approx.2m to approx.ht.10-12m, REDUCE RADIUS by approx.0.5m from approx.4m to 3.5m, CROWN LIFT to 3-4m as required. Remove ivy (exempt works). Reason: to reduce size of tree relative to approved rear extension at 126, to improve light to garden and allow time to re-appraise the tree within the rear garden landscape. REAR (in adjacent garden): ONE Sycamore (T2)(approx.ht.16-18m) REDUCE HEIGHT by approx.3m to approx.ht 13-15m of 'lion-tail' vertical branches, LATERAL REDUCTION by 3.6m from 7.1m to 3.5m on the NW compass point. Sever ivy (exempt works). Reason: to rectify previous partial crown reduction and alleviate branches overhanging the rear garden of 126. REAR: ONE Sycamore (T3) FELL ht.4.5m. Reason: self-set amongst soil and rubble, to be cleared, and obstructing boundary re-fencing. Voluntary replacement with hawthorn, possibly also holly and hazel along rear boundary. Informative: it is greatly appreciated that the original proposals have been amended to retain the sycamore (T1) for the present, to allow time to re-appraise the tree within the rear garden landscape and the tree's contribution to the boroughs tree canopy cover and urban forest ecosystem services. Informative: Where a tree is on the boundary and is the joint responsibility of the applicant and the neighbour, or where consent is sought for trees on adjacent properties, any necessary agreements or permissions from the owner(s) need to be obtained before carrying out any tree work that may be permitted by the LPA. The cut off parts of the tree remain the owner's property and should be offered back.
