Planning application

45 The Gardens London Southwark SE22 9QQ

Granted Southwark 22/AP/3486 Tree works 5 day notification

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Five Day notice application for works to fell a Elderberry tree. The tree is largely dead, removal of the dead limbs will only result in further decay and an even less attractive tree. The tree overhangs the footpath and is a danger to the public.

As published by the council, reference 22/AP/3486
