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.

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:4/73 - Good day, We have a TPO tree in the middle of our garden. I am writing to request to remove the TPO tree from my garden to avoid harm to people. It is a pine tree, TPO Number: WAL: 4/73. The tree drops sizeable heavy branches. Three times now this has happened whilst children have been playing in the garden, also whilst other families children have been playing in the garden. I'm very worried about what would have happened if that branch had hit any of the children, it could have been fatal. I had a tree surgeon around to look at the tree and he said that nothing stands out with the tree. There is nothing he could do to stop this happening. He said that this can happen with pine trees, they will drop branches, especially in summer. This tree is in the center of the back garden. We have other trees all around the garden (one other with TPO). I am happy to leave those as is, since I can keep children away from playing under those trees. I'm happy to pay for and plant a replacement tree at the edge or bottom of the garden, where it would be much safer. There are 5 other pines trees very close to it, which are extremely similar, and hence keep the same vista. Only one of the others has a TPO on it. I do not know why this tree would have a TPO on it, but the other identical trees do not. I have no intention of requesting anything of the other trees since they are not over the middle of any garden, they are in shrubbery space between gardens. The tree is not very visible from the road, since round the back of our house. And where you do see it, the line of site is amongst many other trees (including 5 other pines) so would vista not change. The tree only blocks the view of other trees. The change in view would only be to ourselves, and potentially one neighbor. Both views of which have other trees behind and would not change the vista. But I feel that as it stands, it is a real and present danger to our children (and us). Kind regards, I

  8 Midway Walton-On-Thames Surrey KT12 3HY

  Tree Preservation Order EL:93/13 - T1 - Oak - Reduce the lateral canopy extending over the property by approximately 3 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points in order to retain a balanced and natural crown form. Current dimensions: Height 15m, crown spread 15m. Reason for works: A significant defect has been identified within the principal lateral limb extending over the property. The limb, which has an approximate diameter of 35cm, contains a cavity extending approximately 20cm into the wood, representing more than half of the limb's diameter. The location and extent of this defect raise concerns regarding the long-term structural integrity of the branch. The tree has previously been subject to more extensive pruning on the neighbouring side but has not been correspondingly reduced within the applicant's property boundary. This has resulted in an unbalanced crown with a greater proportion of the canopy and associated loading concentrated over the property. The proposed reduction is intended to lessen the end weight and wind loading on the affected limb, thereby reducing the risk of branch failure while retaining the tree's overall health, amenity value and natural appearance. The works represent a proportionate arboricultural management approach that will help ensure the continued safe retention of this mature Oak within the landscape. T2 - Oak (please see the attached tree report) Crown Spread: North 6.5m, East 6m, South 5m, West 10.5m Condition: Upright tree with a pronounced south-western canopy bias and excessive end weight on elongated lateral growth. Normal vigour and crown vitality observed. Recently exposed following the failure and removal of an adjacent Silver Birch to the north. A children's play area is located directly beneath the canopy. Defects: Historic pruning wound at 4.5m on the north-eastern stem is occluding with no visible decay. Two woodpecker cavities are present at approximately 6m and 6.5m, extending internally by around 60cm and 3
