Planning application

24/01518/CAN

3 Mere Cottages Withybed Corner Walton On The Hill Surrey KT20 7UH

Granted Reigate and Banstead Conservation Area Notice

Proposal

We would like to reduce the crown of the ash tree at the rear of our garden by around 30-40% of its current height and width to allow more sunlight into the garden at the rear of our property. The excessive shading prevents growth of grass and other garden plants. We would also like to reduce the crown of the yew tree, adjacent to the ash at the end of our garden by around 20-30% to allow more sunlight into our garden and also prevent the growth of the lower branches from damaging our shed roof.

As published by the council, reference 24/01518/CAN

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).
