Planning application

18 Stradella Road London Southwark SE24 9HA

Granted Southwark 22/AP/3012 Works to a Tree in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Fell common sycamore (approximately 18m tall) (T1 on sketch plan). Fell because of concern re rapid rate of growth of this species and potential size ( up to 35 m) with resulting reduction in light, dispersion of thousands of seedlings throughout local gardens, aggressive roots and general low amenity value.This type of tree is suited to woodland and forests but not residential areas. There are already many trees in all the adjacent gardens.Plant replacement tree suitable for a small garden
