Planning application

Allonby West Hill Epsom Surrey KT19 8JP

Granted Epsom and Ewell 25/01114/CAT Conservation Area - Works to Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 Carpinus Betulus (hornbeam) Crown lift the lower branches on the south side of the canopy to a height of 7 metres from ground level, back to the main scaffold with bifurcates into 2 smaller scaffolds. All pruning cuts to be made back to the scaffold branches without leaving stubs of short branch ends. T2 Fagus Sylvatica 'Purpurea Group' (Purple beech) Crown lift the lower branches on the south side of the canopy to a height of 7 metres from ground level, back to the main trunk. There are 4 minor scaffold branches and 6 minor branches which can be removed without damaging the integrity of the tree or spoiling the overall shape and balance of the crown. Remove any ivy growing along the retained scaffolds to allow further light penetration through the canopy to the garden. T3 Fagus Sylvatica 'Asplenifolia' (fern-leaved beech) There are no lower branches to lift and access beneath the canopy is good. Lightly crown thin the upper canopy by 5% to lightly reduce the height and open the canopy allowing more light through to the ground.

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.
