Planning application
18 Stradella Road London Southwark SE24 9HA
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

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
