Planning application
Abbey Court Macleod Street London Southwark SE17 3HA
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 - Silver Birch, fell to stump level and grind the stump/surface lateral roots to below ground level. Recommended due to the nature and situation of the prominent surface lateral roots. Tree is situated approx. 2.5 - 3.0m away from the building. Silver Birch roots have caused significant lifting of the paving slabs and this has become a trip hazard for the users/residents of the building.
As published by the council, reference 25/AP/2979
