Way House 36 Wray Common Road Reigate Surrey RH2 0ND
Proposal
There is a small ash tree that is in the roadside hedge on Wray common road. Earlier in the year I discussed with the owner signs of ash dieback and to come back early in 2024 to check on its condition. Last week a drunk driver crashed into the hedge at the base of the tree. The fence is in the middle of the hedge and now needs replacing. The ash tree has grown through the hedge and is punching the fence over. The tree and part of the hedge must be removed to allow the broken fence to be replaced.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About heritage and listed buildings applications
How this application type works
Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.

St Bartholomews Church Church Road Horley Surrey RH6 8AB
The 3 dead trees are amongst others and also bushes in the first quarter of the boundary with the allotment gardens, starting from the Church Road (southern end) of the boundary. One is understood to be a cherry tree. The two others cannot be identified. We need to cut them down carefully to a safe height, including to remove any high level branches, before the dead trees become a safety concern. This will probably mean effectively cutting the trees down to almost ground level (withing about 300mm or so).
