Planning application
Heath House Portsmouth Road SW15 3TD
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
We would like to reduce the mature Oak tree by about 3 metres as it has outgrown its location and is in need of pruning to allow more light in to the gardens and minimise any risk of limb shedding over the roadside.
As published by the council, reference 2026/2638
