Planning application

634 Old Kent Road London Southwark SE15 1JB

Awaiting decision Southwark 25/AP/3220 Works to a Tree with a TPO

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

Works to tree with a TPO: London Plane is growing towards and over the boundary fence from third party land (616 Old Kent Road) into 634-636 Old Kent Road, which is currently under construction. We require to reduce the long lateral branches by up to 5m to suitable growth points along the boundary to rebalance the tree.

As published by the council, reference 25/AP/3220
