Planning application

High Beeches 1B Meadow Walk Walton On The Hill Surrey KT20 7UF

Refused Reigate and Banstead 22/02522/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 Horse Chestnut, Action - Reduce tree structure to a smaller dimension. 2-3m lateral reduction, 5-6m height reduction. Thin out centre. Produce new tree form. Reason - Turn tree into a much smaller manageable form, for long term retention with a re-pollarding regime carried out every 3 years. This will bring a feature tree into line with the historic pollard trees along the driveway, that the property already embraces. This will ensure residents of High Beeches, existing and future, will continue to enjoy a tree within its boundary that fits into a more living at home lifestyle.

As published by the council, reference 22/02522/TPO
