   Decision issued: Refuse Lawful Development Certificate

4. 30 Jul 2026

   Added to PlanIndex

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

  1 Kings Mead Park Claygate Esher Surrey KT10 0NS

  Tree Preservation Order EL:09/40 - T1 Copper beech on attached document. 1. Reduce crown on south east side of the tree in line with green line on plan. Reason: Recent high winds during Storm Conall brought down branches and caused damage to rear lower level roof (guttering damage). Crown has grown unevenly this side due to sun position and this would make the tree crown better proportions. 2. Thin the crown 10% Reason: Crown has grown thick again since last work carried out in 2017 and this would aid light transmission to neighbouring garden and benefit tree health. 3. Remove dead branches Reason: To improve tree health 4. Reduce crown on North East side of the property in line with green line on plan. Reason: Tree has grown unevenly this side due to sun position and now overhangs neighbouring property garden and corner of the house. Preventative measure to reduce risk of damage to property from falling objects.
