Planning application
ORCHARD HOUSE TILLEY LANE HEADLEY KT18 6JU
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The 6 mixed Beech and Lime trees located at the right side of Orchard House. Selective pruning will be undertaken to reduce and cut back lateral secondary stems and branches that are currently encroaching toward, or in contact with the property. Works will involve carefully reducing the specified stems and branches to provide appropriate clearance from the property, preventing potential damage to the building roof and fabric and reducing the risk of abrasion during high winds. The overall structure or height of the trees will not be effected. The works will not exceed a reduction of approximately 2 meters of the affected stems and branches branches from the building footprint.
