Planning application
3 FOX COVERT FETCHAM KT22 9XD
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
TPO/114/2/I T1 Silver Birch- Tree has previously been reduced and new growth has become approximately 2 metres in length. I would like to apply to prune the tree back to its previously points to maintain the tree's size and also preserve the Tree's health for the future and limb over extension and potential failure. Due to the fast growing nature of Silver Birches I would like to apply for it to be a recurring application to be allowed to prune the tree by 1-2 metres back to the previous pruning points every 2 years.

The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
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.
