Planning application
Brightlands 2 Gallery Road London Southwark SE21 7AB
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. To remove two trees within the Dulwich Village Conservation Area. 1x Sambucus sp. 1x Ilex aquilfolium. Please see the attached photos of the trees in question. Neither of these trees have been shown or categorised on the approved tree plans, and only one has been shown on the topo survey. 1x Sambucus sp. estimated dbh of <100mm and 1x Ilex aquilfolium estimated dbh of <200mm are requested to be removed on the eastern aspect of the existing building. Reason for this is the required forklift has proven to be too wide and would likely cause damage to both trees as well as the machine. KIND are aware the removal of these trees may require replacement. Neither of these trees have been shown or categorised on the approved tree plans.
