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).

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
