Planning application

8 Wellesford Close Banstead Surrey SM7 2HL

Refused Reigate and Banstead 21/01247/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 - Turkey Oak. This rather strange looking tree can only be seen by residents of 7 , 8 and possibly 9 Wellesford Close and has little if any amenity value. It does cause excessive shading to the gardens of Wellesford Close. This application is to seek the advice of the Council Tree Officer with a view to reducing the height from 13 to 10 metres and the branches towards the North also by 3 metres from 8m radius to 5m. This will also tend to balance the tree somewhat as it does seem weighted to one side. There is a lot of dead wood in this tree which would be removed at the same time as any works that are approved by Council. Access can be achieved by liaising with applicant who can provide the occupants name and phone number.

As published by the council, reference 21/01247/TPO
