   Awaiting decision

   Decision expected by 4 December 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.

Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

Tree 3: Prunus sp. Self-seeded hard against the fence. Fell and remove the stump so the fence can be replaced and a new border created. Tree 4: Taxus baccata. Previoulsy coppiced. The tree is within the footprint of a proposed house extension, so needs to be removed. Please refer to planning applicaton 25/AP/2822. Tree 5: Taxus baccata. This yew tree has one overly long branch which extends beyond the general profile of the tree. The proposal is to reduce the length of this branch to create a more regular shape.

Plant four trees including Acer tataricum, Cercis siliquastrum, Crateagus x persimilis, Cornus mas, minimum 2.5m height.
