Planning application

24 Kingswood Drive London Southwark SE19 1UR

Granted Southwark 22/AP/0816 Works to a Tree with a TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 Cherry in front garden of property. Tree has been badly pruned in the past. All lateral branches have been hacked and the top left untouched. As a result the canopy is unbalanced and full of shoots. The top needs to be reduced by approximately 3-4m and the whole tree reshaped. Any bad pruning cuts will be rectified where possible and the canopy needs to be thinned by about 20%.

As published by the council, reference 22/AP/0816
