Planning application
2 Trittons Tadworth Surrey KT20 5TR
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
Rear Garden. T5 - Cherry. Fell and treat stump. T6 - Cherry. Fell and treat stump. Both trees are suffering from honey fungus and are within striking distance of the property should they fail. The long term future of both tree???s is questionable due to the condition of the trees and where they are situated. Honey fungus is an aggressive wood decaying fungal pathogen,causing decay in the trees root system which can cause instability and tree failure. There is a significant risk to both people and property should this tree fail

2 Trittons Tadworth Surrey KT20 5TR
Rear Garden, T1 - Larch: Fell as close to ground level as possible. The tree has died off this year and is within striking distance of the property. The long term future of the tree is questionable due to its condition. The tree poses a clear health and safety issue to the home owner and his children and is causing anxiety around their safe use of the rear garden.

22/00670/TPO Refused
2 Trittons Tadworth Surrey KT20 5TR
Rear Garden. T4 - Sweet Chestnut. Crown reduce by up to 4 metres in height and 2 metres in crown width. The subject tree has a large basal cavity on the back side of the tree and requires a heavy crown reduction to reduce the sail affect and lower the risk of stem failure. Its proximity to the property is causing anxiety and apprehension to the occupiers. The proposed works would not reduce the amenity value of the tree and will allow sustainable tree management in the long term
