Planning application
Parsonage 18 Larcom Street London Southwark SE17 1NQ
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 Bay: Fell - The tree is of limited arboricultural merit, exhibiting poor form and restricted growth due to its constrained rooting environment. Planted in an unsuitable location, in close proximity to the building and associated hard surfaces, which have severely restricted available rooting volume and contributed to its suppressed condition. The species expected mature size and growth characteristics, its position is inappropriate for long-term retention within such a confined space. The limited rooting area poses a risk to structural integrity and stability, thereby restricting the safe future management of the tree. Removal is therefore considered a reasonable and proportionate management action, allowing for replacement planting of a more suitable species in a more appropriate location if desired.
