Planning application

21 Spindlewoods Tadworth Surrey KT20 5AU

Granted Reigate and Banstead 23/00283/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 Cypress, To fell and grind out stump. TPO felling reasons. The tree has been topped out at some point. This has resulted in increased lateral growth. The tree is very wide and encroaches into the neighbouring garden and the canopy edge is very close to the house. The tree is overly dominant in regard to both the tree owner and the neighbours properties and significantly hinders the reasonable enjoyment of their garden areas. Lawson Cypress trees have little to no ability to regrow from heavily cut lateral branches. Consequently, there is no feasible way of managing the crown, by reducing the canopy spread to within reasonable proportions. Therefore, the only sensible option is to allow the removal of this tree and replace it with a more suitable species, replacement tree.
