Planning application
23/00772/CAT
22B Highridge Close Epsom Surrey KT18 5HF
Proposal
This application is for the removal of T1 Western Red Cedar tree situated on the Bridle Path at the back of 22b Highridge Close. The tree has dropped some medium sized limbs in the past and is shedding all year round causing garden drainage and housing guttering to be blocked continuously and therefore have to be professionally cleaned / emptied a number of times a year. Multiple trees were removed at the end of last year, one of which was immediately next to the tree in question and was identical in height, health and type. In last years storms a number of branches came off, one of which landed less than a foot from a glass roof light and glass bi-fold doors. I would like to suggest that a new tree is planted which would be in keeping with the bridlepath. The owner of the tree is in full agreement, has given his permission in writing and this application is supported by all neighbouring houses. All work will be compliant with BS3998 standards.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
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.
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.
