Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
This application is for a full crown reduction of 3 Beech trees situated on the boundary line of 1 Harrendon. The trees are currently overhanging 3 Harrendon and have previously been reduced all round to allow more light into the properties and keep the lateral limbs away from both properties. The Beech trees have grown into 1 crown and a reduction of 1.5-2m on the lateral limbs and 1m in height to create 1 overall well shaped and balanced crown. On the other side of the garden are 2 Sweet Chestnut trees which are growing toward the house and hanging substantially over the garden. We would like to reduce these lateral limbs by 1.5-2m to create less shading in the garden and around the properties.

2 Harendon Tadworth Surrey KT20 5TT
Reduction of T1 Sweet Chestnut tree situated in the rear of the property. The tree appears to be in general good health with some dead wood around the crown that can be expected of a tree this age. The home owner would like to re-seed the area below the tree to try and get grass to grow and I would apply for a 1.5-2m reduction on all overextended lateral limbs blending the lateral limbs into the upper crown to create a well shaped and balanced crown and thin the crown by 15% to allow more dappled sunlight onto the grass below. All major dead wood will be removed and all work will be compliant with BS3998.

MODIFIED SPECIFICATION SEE CONDITIONT1 Beech - Growing within a closed canopy sheltered group. Tall drawn-up in form. Twin-stemmed from 4m above ground level, with sub-dominant stem on the North side. Both stems entwined, with natural bracing. Suppressed by more dominant neighbour. Asymmetrical crown, with crown entirely off-set from base. Squirrel damage in crown. Dominant tree within group. Co-dominant from 2m above ground level, with tight compression fork. Proposed works: To crown reduce T1 Beech, by up to 2.5m. To reduce loading on damaged structural limbs. Recent limb failure caused damage to the neighbouring property, see photos. The tree has multiple places where it has been damaged, the photos from within the crown were taken when the failed limb was removed 19 June 2023.

21 Old Oak Avenue Chipstead Surrey CR5 3PG
T1- Cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). Selective pruning of the lateral crown to reduce over extended limbs by 1.5-2m (Predominately on the east and west sides to rebalance), reduce other limbs where necessary to appropriate growth points with the goal of reducing weight load and rebalancing the crown. Remove deadwood over 40mm diameter and 50cm length. Reduce or remove large dead limb on west side of tree at 3m height. Supply and installation of 3x non-invasive 8tn Cobra bracing between three co-dominant stems, to reduce movement between branch unions and mitigate likelihood of structural failure. Use of a mobile elevated working platform (cherry picker) will be utilised to ensure we prune to the appropriate points, for tree health and aesthetics.

Land Adjacent To 150 Fleetwood Close Tadworth Surrey KT20 5PG
Trees 1 and 2 (adjacent 150) prune back from their dwelling/garage by circa 3m and remove deadwood. The branches of both trees are extending across the curtilage of 150 Fleetwood Close. Some are in close proximity to the dwelling. Early pruning work, as requested, will enable the tree crown to be managed without recourse to substantial pruning cuts. Early intervention is therefore considered to be best practice in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations. Tree 3 reduce height to circa 6m above ground level. The tree is in decline and presents no regenerative growth from lower on the branches or stem structure. If regenerative growth had been present it would have been feasible to specify pruning works to suitable growth points. Given the state of decline and absence of suitable pruning points it is considered prudent to remove the major branches but retain the lower stem for its ecological value. Works can be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations.
