Planning application
2026/0477
1 A Quill Lane SW15 1PB
Proposal
T1 Tree: Acer pseudoplatanus (Sycamore): Fell to ground level / sectional dismantle Justification: The tree is of poor structural form and is growing in direct conflict with the adjacent boundary wall. The stem and root plate are physically displacing and exerting pressure on the wall, causing ongoing structural damage. Retention is not sustainable and remedial pruning would not resolve the underlying root related movement. Removal is necessary to prevent further damage and mitigate risk. x1 Ailanthus Altissimus (Tree of Heaven): Crown reduce by 3-4m back to previous points and thin the crown by 10%, removing any dead, rubbing or crossing branches whilst maintaining its natural well balanced shape. Justification: Routine maintenance

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Wandsworth for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
