Tree Removal


Tlkamk

Recommended Posts

Sadly, no experience of Southwark Council (and by my Southwark Council experience, I would expect the process to be at least 3.7million times more painful). But... it took two years to get a tree removed from outside my property as the roots were pushing the garden wall over and the leaf-fall in autumn was phenomenal. Our council had separate a separate tree committee (deciding whether a tree had preserved status or not) and shade committee (deciding whether the shade from a tree was a nuisance or not). Each committee only met once every six months and the case was bounced between the committees several times. Eventually the tree was removed, and the document that clinched it was a google earth satellite image, showing that you couldn't see the garden due to the tree overhang. Probably worth getting some pics from Google, Microsoft Bing and Apple, etc., so you can show the tree problem at different times of year.


Re getting some progress / acknowledgement from the council, have a word with your local Councillor - they are usually mentioned in the top couple of pages of the ED issues section. Ask them to find out what progress has been made. Although if you're the Rye Lane ward you haven't got a hope (useless).

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
