Planning application

Rear Of 121 Grosvenor Park London Southwark SE5 0NJ

Awaiting decision Southwark 25/AP/3092 Works to a Tree in a Conservation Area

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

2 Medium self seeded Ailanthus (Tree of heaven) that have grown from the base of a garage. This is an inappropriate place for these trees to grow and as such they have very low retention value. Recommended work to remove trees entirely.

As published by the council, reference 25/AP/3092
