Trees & landscaping

Proposal

REAR: ONE: Plane (T1) HT Approx:16m. FELL to ground level. Reason: Removal of T1 is proposed due to its promximitiy to nearby buildings and the outer boundary wall, where continued root and stem growth maty contribute to further structural damage. The tree's root system is also causing lifting and displacement of the adjacent car park paving. Replace with smaller, less substantial planting to maintain greenery and a natural appearance.

Nearest: 39 and 41, Albury Street Se8, Grade II, the postcode pin is inside its outline · 1 Grade I, 10 Grade II*, 8 Grade II

Historic England ↗
Deptford High Street & St Pauls Church 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
Small HMO Northern Extension. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
National infrastructure project: Thames Tideway Tunnel
The site is inside 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 21 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.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
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.
Air quality management area: Lewisham 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 about 166 m away: Sue Godfrey Nature Park
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.

Opportunity area
Where the London Plan expects significant growth.

Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; Heritage at risk about 66 m away: Deptford High Street; Inside the Lewisham built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 3 (moderate), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square; Town centre about 8 m away: Deptford.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at 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.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
