Planning application

30 Kingswood Drive London Southwark SE19 1UR

Granted Southwark 25/AP/3676 Works to a Tree with a TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Tree ID 7141 To remove all dead wood, reducing the overall height down by up to 50%, and hopefully regenerative growth will reform a more compact tree. Pruning should be targeted at suitable branch junctions/growth points where possible. The upper crown has very poor leaf cover with a high percentage of dead stems.

As published by the council, reference 25/AP/3676
