Planning application
1 MAPLE GROVE GREAT BOOKHAM KT23 4NG
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Beech Tree. We would like the bottom branch removed. It is growing close to the house and we fear of damage to the house if this breaks. It also blocks a lot of natural light for house house and garden.
