Planning application
2026/2363
7 Blenkarne Road SW11 6HZ
Proposal
T001 - Sessile Oak in back garden of 7 Blenkarne Road which requires root pruning to allow space for building agreed in planning permission. The excavation trial pit has unearthed roots travelling within the soil underneath an existing concrete slab within the garden. There are 5 roots above 25mm which require pruning the total length of the removal of each root 1.5m back to the edge of the proposed building edge. Due to the length of roots being minimal the roots don't offer significant stability and represent a small amount of the rooting system. A root barrier will be put in place after pruning to stop future encroachment onto the new building. Root diameters at point of proposed pruning: Lone root Root 1 - 65mm (large due to root forking) Included in cluster- Roots 2 - 29mm Root 3 - 40mm Root 4 - 25mm Root 5 - 55mm

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.
