Planning application
26/00578/TPO
Spindles Langley Vale Road Epsom Surrey KT18 6AL
Proposal
T1 - Ash (Young) (L1/W4) - Section fell tree to ground level. Reasons: This Tree has clear signs of Ash die back and is in decline. This tree is approx 20ft tall. T2 - Beech (L1/W4) - Perform a whole crown reduction by removing up to 2.5m of growth radially and remove deadwood. Reasons: The tree is located very close to the property and is situated in a busy and well used area of the garden. The canopy overhangs the property by 1.5m - 2m and is causing upset with home owner with constant battle of light being blocked out of the property. Reduce amount of leaf fall in rear garden and on building and to reduce the amount of deadwood falling near the property on a regular basis. I am looking to minimize the reasons above and create a better way of life for my client.

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Epsom and Ewell for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
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.
