Planning application
7 BOURNE GROVE ASHTEAD KT21 2NX
Works: Trees
Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.
Proposal
Reduce overall canopy of 3x Oak by approximately 2m to appropriate growth points, near to old points, following BS3998 standards. The reduction should allow all three trees to form one connected canopy. Remove North Western lowest limb, which crosses another branch, back to the main union. Thin canopy by 30%. The aim of the reduction is to keep the tree managed at a point where the tree can before pruned to growth points, before a harder prune is required to get it back to the old points size. Reduce height of T2- Crimson King Norway Maple back down to old points. Remove any large dead stubs which increase points for more growth. Reduce remaining canopy to good growth points and to match shape, whilst retaining screening of houses behind. Reduce overall canopy of T3- Crimson King Norway Maple by approximately 4m, in the form of a hard pollard to encourage new growth at a lower height to increase screening and minimise shade the garden. Reduce remaining canopy in the form of a pollard to match shape of the top height.
