Trees & landscaping

Proposal

Amended specification agreed with the Dulwich Estate: Fell T7446, a mature false acacia bordering woodland and amenity grassland, to ground level due to significant basal decay on the western tension side and a pronounced lean to the east, removed to ground level and the stumps treated (Eco Plugs) to prevent regrowth. Amended to remove potential for natural regeneration. Inappropriate species for Great North Wood buffer zone. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 11

Dulwich Wood 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 ↗
Article 4 direction
Great North Wood. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Tree preservation order: 3 Crescent Wood Road
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Air quality management area: Southwark 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 ↗
Local nature reserve 76 m away: Sydenham Hill Wood and Fern Bank
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Other Priority Habitats - NEZ
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
5 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Six Pillars, Grade II*, 58 m away · 1 Grade II*, 4 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.
