Planning application

St Mary Magdalene Church, High Street, Ripley GU23 6AE

Granted Guildford 25/T/00226 Trees in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Reshape hedges 1, 2 and 3 to reshape to limit their height to 2 metres and reduce their width to recover unrestricted access to the church. The topping and pruning would be done over three winter periods so that no individual tree within the hedges has more than the top or one side pruned in one period (Ripley Conservation Area).

As published by the council, reference 25/T/00226
