   Decision issued: Grant Planning Permission

4. 7 Aug 2026

   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.

Householder applications cover work to an existing house and its garden: extensions, loft and garage conversions, porches, outbuildings and similar alterations within the boundary of the home. They cannot be used to create a separate dwelling or change what the building is used for. Councils aim to decide them within eight weeks, and immediate neighbours are usually notified and given a chance to comment.

  Thames Ditton Conservation Area - 1: Ash (fraxinus Excelsior) Tree number 3 on the report: Crown reduce by 2.5m Tree rated 'U' (Trees unsuitable for retention - those in such a condition that they cannot realistically be retained as living trees in the context of the current land use for longer than 10 years. The preliminary maintenance recommendation is to reduce the crown by 2.5m within 6 month and then reassess the tree. Tree has two dysfunctional wounds at 1m and 1.5m to northern aspect of stem. A further dysfunctional area exists at 2m; the site of historic secondary stem removal. Decay extents are a considerable proportion of the stem diameter and continue beneath the existing stem. Exact extents unknown, but extends beyond 400mm in this area. Second major area of dysfunction and decay noted at 4m on retained stem, facing north. Exact decay extents unknown, but tree shows evidence of hollowing at this point. Large 350mm wound on westernmost primary limb at 4.5m which has been caused by limb failure. Tree looks to have been pruned heavily in the distant past at circa 5m, with epicormic growth beyond this. Daldinia concentrica noted at 1m to north of stem, and around second dysfunctional area and historic limb failure site. 2. Cherry Tree (Prunus Avium) Tree number 10 on the report: Fell to the ground Tree rated 'U' (Trees unsuitable for retention - those in such a condition that they cannot realistically be retained as living trees in the context of the current land use for longer than 10 years. Bleeding canker noted on main stem at 1.5m on northern and southern aspect. Considerable area of delamination on westernmost leader at 2.5m; just above union. Limited wound wood noted, but bleeding canker present. Crown historically pruned back from eastern aspect (over neighbours). Foliage is of poor quality and wilting heavily, possibly caused by silver leaf disease in part.

  Thames Ditton Conservation Area - Front Garden: During my site inspection, I re-examined the two significant cavities located at approximately 2.0m and 2.2m along the main trunk. Both cavities are extensive and have definitely compromised the structural integrity of the lower section of the tree. To help reduce mechanical stress and mitigate the risk of structural failure, I recommend carrying out a crown reduction in the near future. Recommendation: Reduce the height by 4m and the lateral spread by 1.5m to balance the crown, leaving a natural, rounded form. The tree's current height is 16m, and its crown spread is 12m After the proposed works, the tree's height is 12m, and the crown spread is 10.5m
