Planning application

Maple House Heath Drive Walton On The Hill Tadworth Surrey KT20 7QJ

Refused Reigate and Banstead 22/01367/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

T2 RE1459.. 1x Lawson Cypress. The tree is a heavily weighted multi stem with many defects, twisted crossing and rubbing limbs, there is a tight enclosed union approximately 1.5 metres from ground level with early signs of decay, a cavity to the back of one of the main stems. I feel the best option would be to fell it ground level given its location being so close to the house and that the tree is in decline and any pruning would only make the tree look unethically pleasing to the eye and only be prolonging the inevitable. There is a healthy yew tree adjacent which will benefit from the removal of T2 and will have more room to flurish.
