Awaiting decision Epsom and Ewell 26/00885/CAT

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Copper Maple (T19) - Clean out dead wood. 1. Dead wooding: Remove dead, dying, diseased, and damaged branches throughout the crown to improve tree safety and health. 2. Crown thinning: Selectively remove a proportion of secondary and tertiary branch growth (no more than 10%) evenly throughout the crown to reduce density, improve light penetration, and increase air circulation. Especially to rear of tree given the large dead branches 3. Crown reduction: Reduce the crown height by up to 2.0m (20%) and radial spread by up to 1.5m, pruning back to suitable strong growing points. Improve tree health and structural safety, balance, and maintain the tree in good condition in line with good arboricultural management. See attached plan and photo

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 this record

Reading the register

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Epsom and Ewell is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

    T1,T2,T3 management of Leyland Cypress conifer to prevent excessive growth and shading of the three mature conifers that form a 20ft+ hedge. Reducing height to 15ft and pruning back spread to suitable live growth points. T4 management of Leyland Cypress conifer (tree is in in 46 Ewell Downs Road garden). It is proposed to undertake minor pruning works by reducing the overhanging branches of conifer extending above the planting beds containing laurels, pruning back to suitable live growth points. The purpose of the work is to lessen excessive shading of the shrubs beneath and improve light levels and rainfall to support their continued growth. Pruning will be carried out in accordance with good arboricultural practice, retaining the tree's overall form and health. The works are intended to provide a balanced relationship between the existing tree and the surrounding landscaping while preserving the screening function of the conifer.
