47 Links Road Epsom Surrey KT17 3PP
Proposal
Silver Birch (289/T74) removal of dead branches affected by Copper Beech (289/T75) possibly. At the same time would seek guidance if the Copper Beech needs to be pruned due to its size. There are a number of dead branches to the silver Birch (T74) which may affect its future growth as the branches have been dead for some years. The Copper Beech (T75) has grown substantially over the years and so may need pruning

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.
