Decision
Awaiting decision
Decision expected by 22 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.
Epsom and Ewell took a median of 51 days over the applications it decided in the last year.
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.

97% historically approved · decision due ~3 Aug
The Lawsons cypress (31/G14) has overgrown the neighbours property and is causing disturbance to the owners as it creates a lot of pollen, in season. We propose to lightly trim the face on 49 BHR side by approximately 1 metre making sure to leave sufficient live growth. We propose to lightly trim the face of the holly tree at the entrance to 49 BHR, by approximately 15/20% bringing it into shape and allowing light to reach all parts of its crown. The Yew Tree we have also proposed to lightly trim the face of the tree on 49 BHR side of the property, to stop any major over hang, it would roughly be 10cm trimmed away from the fence line of 49 BHR. All works will be done on 49 BHR, the stated trees are only to be trimmed back to the fence of 51 BHR.
