3 Morden Road, Blackheath, London, SE3 0AA
Approved on 14 June 2024
Council decision: Raise No ObjectionDelegated (officer decision)
Proposal
T1: Ash Proposed Work: Remove tree. Reason - young/semi-mature tree with a stem diameter of approximately 300mm. The tree is self-sown and has become established approx. 300mm from the adjacent Victorian boundary wall; the stem is currently approx. 150mm from the wall and the species presents the potential for a significant increase in stem diameter. - consider it highly likely that the tree will undoubtedly cause damage to the wall as it increases in size - showing evidence of reduced vigour throughout the canopy, this is likely to be the early stages of Ash Dieback - no significance to the visual amenity of the wider Conservation Area.
