DC/20/115394 Granted
23 CHALSEY ROAD, LONDON, SE4 1YN
REAR: ONE Sycamore (T1)(approx.ht.10m) FELL. Reason: previous high pollard, poor specimen. Informative: the tree is not significant to public realm amenity, however it is part of an area of joined rear gardens which enhances rear outlooks and provides important ecosystem service benefits. One of the unintended consequences of locating garden rooms at the end of gardens, is loss of urban greening and a reduction of the 'hidden' urban forest. A replacement tree, shrubs or climbers elsewhere in the garden would be greatly appreciated.
