Planning application
10 Dulwich Common London Southwark SE21 7EX
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T2 Ash of the MWA Arboricultural Report Works: Remove (fell) to near ground level. Owner to physically remove any regrowth (no chemical treatment due to translocation risk). Reason: Clay shrinkage subsidence damage at the property. Works to H1 Privet, per the MWA Arboricultural Report are also to take place but, as this is a hedge and is subject to periodic management, no s.211 is deemed necessary. A separate s.211 notification is submitted regarding works to T1 oak and TG1 ash as recommended in the MWA Arboricultural Report. Permissions are also being sought from Dulwich Estates for all the above works.
