Planning application

COLWOOD CRAMPSHAW LANE ASHTEAD KT21 2UF

Refused Mole Valley MO/2026/00750 Tree Felling Consent

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

TPO/103/1/Q There are 6 very large trees in the front garden/drive of our property with some having very low hanging branches. We would like to arrange for the lower branches to be cut back approx 20-30ft and for the height of the trees to be cut down approx 20ft. The lower hanging branches have now reached the top of the garages and the height is blocking out most of the sunlight during the day. We have already had several low hanging branches fall on to cars causing minor dents and chips to windscreens. We are not requesting the trees are removed, just cut back to a manageable size to allow light to the front of the house and prevent our cars and outbuildings being damaged.
