    1 Driftways Cottages Fir Tree Road Banstead Surrey SM7 1NA

    I am writing to submit a planning application for the felling of protected trees adjacent to the highway, particularly in response to the recent incident where one of the protected trees has fallen. The incident has heightened concerns about the safety of the remaining trees and necessitates their prompt removal. Justification for this application is as follows: Recent Incident: A protected tree adjacent to the highway has recently fallen, raising significant concerns about the stability and safety of the remaining trees in the vicinity. Risk to Public Safety: The fallen tree has highlighted the potential risks posed by the remaining protected trees of the same age & condition. Their proximity to the highway poses a clear and immediate danger to public safety, as demonstrated by the recent incident. Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter. I trust that the planning authority will take swift action to safeguard public safety and prevent any further incidents.
