The process from here
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.
About trees applications
How this application type works
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.

Tree Preservation Order - WAL:3/71 T41 and EL:00/04 T1 beech, located on a shared rear boundary in a private residential garden. Public amenity; is moderate, both trees provide a significant backdrop offering visual interest and depth, softening the appearance of surrounding buildings. Both trees have been pruned in the past however, in a way beyond that agreed in 1999. Considering this the trees have been pruned twice (in their history), best practice could be observed with continued pruning, this time maintaining a flowing crown with no stubs. Reason for pruning: There are 2 beech trees on site, dominant features of the property. Beech is capable of 20m+ in height and considerable spread, a species known for its tall broad appearance and dense canopy, shading out competing understorey growth. Pruning is requested to maintain both trees at a reasonable size suitable to their location, balancing leisurely use of the private garden with amenity. Both trees would retain a flowing outline at a decreased size, retaining their moderate visibility using smaller pruning cuts with earlier intervention. Proposed work: 1.5m crown reduction observing BS 3998:2010 i.e., Pruning cuts (>30mm diameter) will be up to one third the diameter of the parent branch at suitable growth points, leaving a flowing crown outline with no stubs.

Tree Preservation Order - T1 and T2 - two mature Beech trees growing as a pair to rear of back garden. The trees have a height of approximately 23 metres and a combined spread of approximately 20 metres. Proposed works are to reduce the crowns of both trees by approximately 2-3 metres, cutting above previous pruning points to retain a natural appearance to crown, leaving trees with a height of approximately 20.5 metres and combined spread of approximately 15 metres. These works are being carried out to reduce end weight and allow light into garden area and neighbouring gardens / properties.

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.
