Planning application

8 Manor Drive Ewell Surrey KT19 0EY

Granted Epsom and Ewell 26/00166/TPO Consent for Works to Preserved Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Ash, TPO 34, rear garden, mature, circa 80cm diameter. Issue - Several large (circa 20cm) branches have recently fallen presenting a risk to life. In addition the tree presents very low hanging branches causing excessive shading and encroached proximity to neighbouring properties. Proposed works - After consultation with a local tree surgeon a crown reduction is requested. This is to maintain the trees' shape, decrease excessive shading and maintain a safe distance from neighbouring buildings. Furthermore the removal of branches will minimise the chance of further impact from falling branches.

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.
