Planning application
2026/1685
15 Campion Road SW15 6NN
Proposal
Complete removal of a bay tree which has rapidly grown out of control toward the south east end of our garden. The tree serves no purpose to us and it's suckers grow up through our paving. The elderly neighbours to the rear of the garden (22 Coalecroft Road) have commented that the tree has become tall and blocks late afternoon and evening sunlight to their gardens. The tree grows so fast and is now quite tall (7-8 metres) so it is hard to manage.

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.
