   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 17 October 2025, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

   Southwark took a median of 52 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

This application is with Southwark for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

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.

  Works to a Tree with a TPO: T1 (Horse Chestnut) - Remove T2 & T3 (Horse Chestnut) - Repollard and repeat at 2-year intervals for a period of 10 years. Reasons: a. The property has been the subject of movement which engineers consider to be attributable to the role of vegetation on an underlying clay soil. b. Site investigations confirm the clay soil and levels of desiccation which support the view trees are of influence. c. The onset timing of damage is wholly consistent with the potential that it is caused by tree(s). d. Level monitoring is supportive of the view vegetation is causal. e. The tree identified for removal is the largest/ closest vegetation to the affected part of the building. It is hoped that its removal will mitigate the influence and facilitate the retention of other surveyed trees. f. Pruning to T2 & T3 seeks to establish a managed canopy framework allow future pruning works which will seek to retain the trees in a managed form.
