Planning application

55 Cobourg Road London Southwark SE5 0HU

Granted Southwark 26/AP/0079 Works to a Tree in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Works to trees in a conservation area: 2 x Sycamore trees - Crown reduction to previous reduction points. T1 - Sycamore appr 16m. Reduce crown appr. with 3-3.5m all around to appr. 12m. T2 - Sycamore appr. 14m. Reduce crown appr. by 4m. all around to 10m. That tree has a huge pocket of decay in the main trunk with vertical split on the main union. Needs significant reduction on the weight of the crown to minimise the risk of falling down.
