DC/25/139865 - Trees in Conservation Areas Approved

Proposal

FRONT: ONE Elder (Sambucus nigra)(ht.6m) FELL. REASON: Tree too close to ground floor flat window, branches hitting flats, blocking window views. Tree is lopsided due to previous works. Causing pressure to fence/wall. If left unattended tree will cause damage. Informative A: please plant a replacement dwarf shrub such as lavender, Daphne, Viburnum, Philadelphus, Buddleja, Abelia, Syringa which have fragrant flowers, to maintain urban greening in the narrow frontage strip to Cavendish Court facing Bromley Road and Culverley Road for amenity, wildlife and environmental benefits. Informative B: please create habitat log piles for wildlife and biodiversity from arisings. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 9

Culverley Green 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.
Council document ↗
2 Article 4 directions
Small HMO Northern Extension · Culverley Green Article 4 Direction. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Archaeological priority area
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.
Opportunity area
Where the London Plan expects significant growth.
Boundaries are indicative and the borough holds the detailed plan.
Also on the record

Checked on 1 November 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, 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.
