Planning application

9 RYE FIELD ASHTEAD KT21 2EH

Granted Mole Valley MO/2026/00834 Tree Felling Consent

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Quercus robur. Reduce overall canopy by approximately 0.5-2m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998. The tops should be reduced by approximately 1-2m to appropriate growth points to manage the tree at this size before more harsh pruning is required in the future. The reduction should leave the tree looking natural and aesthetically pleasing with growth points retained in all areas. The specific reduction amounts: Tops - 1-2m. East side (higher canopy area) to be reduced by approximately 0.5-1m. Lower east side to be thinned to keep a similar consistency in density to the rest of the reduced tree. No length reduced. South side laterals (above powerlines cut back) to be reduced by 1-2m. West side to be reduced by 1-2m. North side to have selected branches reduced by 1-2m to match natural shape of the canopy. Reason for works: The tree is adjacent to powerlines and has been reduced hard, with little care from Utility teams. The tree has a disproportionate shape due to this. We plan to reduce the tree to appropriate points only to give the tree a more balanced shape, with small pruning wounds as to keep the tree managed next to the lines, without having to do larger pruning wounds if left to grow larger next to the lines. The finished reduction will be natural once finished.

    TPO/114/2/I T1 – Silver Birch. It is proposed to reduce the crown by approximately 1–2 metres, pruning back towards the previous reduction points where suitable. Given the tree's previous management history and the amount of regrowth produced, we would also request consideration for the tree to be managed on a 3 year pruning cycle, reducing new growth back towards the established pruning framework as required.
