Planning application

90 Clapham Common West Side SW4 9AZ

Awaiting decision Wandsworth 2026/2561 Work to trees in conservation area

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Removal of silver birch tree (including as much of trunk and roots as possible) in the corner of our back garden. The tree roots from the silver birch tree are lifting and damaging the stone paving in our garden, resulting in buckling and uneven surfaces. The damage is worsening and poses a safety hazard.
