25/02500/TCA - Approval for works to trees in CA Awaiting decision
Trees & landscaping

Proposal

1 x Palm (T2) (Rear Garden) - Fell as close to ground level as possible and eco-plug. T1 is located in the rear garden, see map attached. T1 is of poor shape and form and is of little amenity value. 1 x Palm (T2) Cut back into No. 28 garden by removing 1.5 metres in branch length, reducing the radius from 5 metres to 3.5 metres. T2 is located in the rear garden, see map attached. The works are part of a regular maintenance programme to retain the trees at a suitable size for their location. 1 x Palm (T3) Cut back from property, giving 1 metre clearance by removing 1 metre in branch length, reducing the radius from 5 metres to 4 metres. T3 is located in the rear garden, see map attached. The works are part of a regular maintenance programme to retain the trees at a suitable size for their location. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 8

19 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: 1-32, Cardigan Street Se11, Grade II, the postcode pin is inside its outline · 1 Grade II*, 16 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Historic England ↗
Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
Kennington conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Air quality management area: Lambeth AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
National infrastructure project about 155 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel
The site is about 155 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: London Strategic Heat Main Project (at pre-application, about 622 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate, Transport for London (public transport access levels, Powered by TfL Open Data, OGL v3.0, contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right 2025) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
