Proposal
ree T1 is an Arizona Cypress located just inside my boundary, adjacent to the driveway shared with number 12. It is a mature tree of 40+ years, 15-20m high and with 40cm diameter multiple trunk. Trees T2 and T3 are located on adjacent council land, both are Lime?, mature of 40+years, 20+m high and with 60cm trunks.Remove Tree T1 to alleviate overbearing presence and proximity, low amenity value, excessive branch fall, shading to properties and significant interference to satellite reception. Replace with a smaller specimen of mature height not exceeding 12m Reduce Trees T2 and T3 to reduce blanket shading and increasingly heavy presence due to absence of periodic surgery.

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.
