Planning application
12 Clandon Road, Guildford, GU1 2DR
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 (Mature Birch): Crown reduce by up to 3m on height and all sides of the tree. To reduce height from 14m to 11m and width from 16m to 10m approximately. To also crown thin by 15%, dead wood and the major limb from near ground level on the southern side of the tree. To reduce back to laterals. Reason: To increase light to the conservatory underneath and also to the neighbours swimming pool area. Due to the position of this tree we have reduced this tree on at least four occasions. The larger reduction points have weakened due to decay and to reduce the weight and leverage on the end growth. T2,T3, T4, T5 (Small Birch): Reduce height by 3-4m (from 10m to 6-7m) and sides by 1m (from 4m to 3m). T6, T7 (Rowan): Reduce height by 1.5m (from 6m to 4.5m) and width from 4m to 3m. Reason: These trees (T2 to T7) are shooting up and preventing light from entering the house, making it very dark on the ground floor.

Anchor And Horseshoes, 194 London Road, Guildford, GU1 1XR
G1 Yews. (x3no) Carry out crown reduction work of 3m on radial spread and 1.5m from height and upper canopy. Current height is approx 10m and would be 8.5m after pruning, width of all trees as one, approx 15m and would be 12m from marque to car park. Reason for work. Trees are encroaching on to main building and onto dining area marque, also, pigeon foul is a problem due to area being used for dining, debris drops everywhere and , tree nearest car park has a basal decay on tension side of stem. We wish to alleviate sail area and spread to minimise impact of these trees (TPO P1/201/399).
