Proposal

Works to trees in a conservation area: Rear Garden of No.22 T1 - Conifer Fell as close to ground level as possible. - T1 Conifer is located in the rear garden of the property as shown on the map provided. - The tree is of a large spreading nature, straddling gardens and encroaching onto neighbouring properties. - The tree is of little amenity value and could be replaced with a more desirable specimen.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

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.

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.
