Planning application

91 Lyndhurst Grove London Southwark SE15 5AW

Granted Southwark 23/AP/2591 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

Works to a tree in a conservation area:T1 - Large Robinia tree. Tree is unstable and has had a limb fall to the floor on the ground on the 30th of August 2023. Remaining tree is unstable, although could be removed to 1m and allow to regenerate. As there is a mature Sycamore directly behind this tree, I recommend for the tree to be removed to ground level and poison stump to prevent any regrowth.

As published by the council, reference 23/AP/2591

What a grant of permission means

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.
