Planning application
72 Lyndhurst Way London Southwark SE15 5AP
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Willow (T1) - Tree is growing in close proximity to a brick wall and has started to cause structural damage (see pic). It is also close to a neighbouring structure causing light issues. Although canopy reduction may solve the light issues it will not prevent further damage to wall. Remove and replant a native tree in a better location.
