Planning application
16 ROSE HILL DORKING RH4 2EA
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
1. Holm Oak (RHS boundary) - Reduce by approx. 2m all over, back to near previous pruning points. All pruning cuts are to be made to suitable live growth. Trim to tidy where required to keep a compact canopy. Remove any major deadwood. 2. Copper Beech (RHS boundary) - Reduce the over-extended laterals by up to 1.5m to tidy appearance, ensuring canopy has some clearance from adjacent trees. 3. Laurel (RHS boundary) - Reduce in height by approx. 2.5m to achieve a uniform level. Reduce sides by approx. 1.5-2m to reinstate a more formal hedge framework. 4. Bay (behind Laurel on RHS boundary) - Reduce in height by approx. 2m to match adjacent Laurel (item 3).
