   Decision issued: Grant Consent

   Added to PlanIndex

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

  WAL:12/72 - The tree is a Silver Birch tree located in the front of the property shown as T2 on the plan. Pre application advice obtained from a council tree officer indicated that the tree was in a healthy physiological and structural condition. The twin stemmed tree has a relatively broad crown and a limited amount of crown reduction is requested to lessen the loading on the crown. Specifically agreement is sought to crown thin by up to 10% and crown lift to provide 3m clearance by removing secondary and tertiary growth only. The reasons for requesting this work are to provide greater clearance underneath the crown and reduce the amount of resistance on the crown and structure during high winds.

  WAL:12/72 - Tree species: Conifer - Crown reduction because of excessive shading to garden at 1 Ashley Park Road and proximity to house at 1 Ashley Park Road. Height reduction by 6m and width reduction by 3.5m so tree height from approx 18m to 12m and width from approx 9.5m to 6m, particularly at the bottom close to the side of 1 Ashley Park Road. Remove lower branches close to side roof and boiler flue / extractor fan vents and air conditioning unit vents on 1 Ashley Park Roaad. Reasons for works: This tree takes up a significant amount of light from the background all year round because of it's height and width and proximity to 1 Ashley Park Road as well as its branches covering much of the side of the house at 1 Ashley Park Road, including the boiler flues, extractor fan vent and air conditioning units. Despite not requesting the tree to be felled, we have planted several wildlife hedges and trees in the garden already.

  34 Clive Road Esher Surrey KT10 8PS

  Esher Conservation Area - T1 Leyland Cypress (Rear Garden) Fell to ground level. Reason for Works: The tree is situated in very close proximity to the adjacent outbuilding. As the tree has matured, the stem has increased to a diameter at breast height (DBH) of approximately 40 cm and is now in direct contact with the structure, causing abrasion and damage to the building. Due to the ongoing increase in stem diameter, further structural damage is considered likely if the tree is retained. The proposed removal is therefore necessary to prevent additional damage while maintaining the safety and integrity of the adjacent structure. T2 Lawson Cypress (Rear Garden) Remove one large declining lateral limb and carry out a crown clean to remove all deadwood throughout the canopy. Reason for Works: A substantial lateral limb is in decline, exhibiting extensive dieback and a significant reduction in live foliage. The removal of this limb is proposed to reduce the risk of branch failure and improve the tree's overall condition. In addition, deadwood will be removed throughout the crown to eliminate potential hazards, improve canopy health, and form part of routine arboricultural management.
