Tree preservation order: 254-270 Camberwell Road
Consent is needed before work on protected trees. A single protected tree within 15 m, nearest 13 m.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.

An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.
The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.
Air quality management area: Southwark AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
