Decided Southwark 20/AP/1930 Works to a Tree in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

Horse Chestnut (T1) - Fell Self seeded horse chestnut that has grown too large for its current environment. It is pushing against the boundary fence and causing light issues for properties on both sides. Has been on a cyclical reduction programme so is not a fine specimen. Recommendation is to replant with a native species in a more suitable location.
