Planning application

65 Dovercourt Road London Southwark SE22 8UW

Granted Southwark 22/AP/4025 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

The tree is a box elder tree situated on the front boundary of the property adjacent to Dovercourt Road - see attached plan. The tree was last pruned in 2018 (in accordance with s.211 notice 18/AP/2436). It needs pruning again to keep it to a manageable size. The works I want to carry out are to crown thin by 20% including the removal of dead wood, lifting low branches and necessary shortening of low lateral branches. The height and basic shape of the tree will be retained. Dulwich Estates have granted a licence giving consent to the above works.

As published by the council, reference 22/AP/4025
