Planning application

Church Of St Thomas More 380 Lordship Lane London Southwark SE22 8ND

Granted Southwark 26/AP/0569 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 tree with a TCA: Laylandii Cypress tree between ten and twenty years old, approximately 10m tall, and 4 metres in diameter, as shown on drawing caa93_10_01_p3_exisiting site plan. The tree has grown up on a fire tender route accessing the John Paul Community Hall, and, therefore, needs to be removed. It also fouls a proposed accessible route connecting the hall to the church which will allow the elderly, the infirm and the disabled to access the hall?s facilities. As part of the accessibility project, we propose to reinstate two new tree?s in place of this fast-growing, evergreen conifer.
