Planning application

Pavillion House 13 Hermitage Close Claygate Esher Surrey KT10 0HH

Granted Elmbridge 2024/2200 Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Tree Preservation Order EL:258 - Reduce hornbeams screen by 3m and shape. Cut back neighbouring side to match works on garden side. This application is exactly in line with all previous applications to purely maintain these healthy trees. Neighbour at no.14 has just had his trees cut back to enable more light to enter the garden and maintain a healthy level for the protected trees- this is the same kind of application as has been done on many occasions over the years.

As published by the council, reference 2024/2200
